Factories

Giant mills once dominated the cityscape of the Carpet City, where thousands of people worked at making carpets at the height of production in the mid-1900s. Knitting mills employed nearly as many women producing underwear and hosiery from wool or silk. Amsterdam produced more brooms than any other place in the country. Needles, shoes, soap, paper, buttons and caskets also went out to supply the growing markets of America.
