Manchester Mills
A Woolen mill were in operation on Hilliard St. from 1780 until the mid 20th century. When it closed in the 1940s, the Hilliard Company was the oldest family-owned, continuously operated factory in the U.S
The first successful cotton mill in Connecticut (begun in 1794) was taken over by the Union Manufacturing Co. in 1819. By 1850 cotton ginghams were made at the Union Company mills in North Manchester by nearly 200 women and men, including many Irish immigrants.
