HISTORICAL AND STATISTICAL SKETCH
OF THE
TOWN OF LOWELL.
-
Little more than fifteen years have elapsed since the place where Lowell now stands was, comparatively, a wilderness ; there being scarcely fifty families in that part of Chelmsford, being the north-eastern section, of which Lowell is composed. About the year 1815 it was ascertained that the Pawtucket Falls afforded an immense water power, and that the land was re- markably well situated for the distribution and use of this power. The privileges were soon secured and operations commenced. Canals were dug, factories, dwelling houses, and stores were erected, and the pop- ulation soon increased, and business gained rapidly, at about the rate of one fourth part annually, till the year 1824; when the place was incorporated and received the present name, being derived from Francis C. Lowell, Esq. a gentleman who early introduced the manufacture of cotton into the United States. Lowell is situated 25 miles north- west from Boston, is separat-

ed from Dracut by the Merrimac river on the north, and by Tewksbury on the east. The ancient name of Chelmsford was Wamasit, so called by the Indians. The present number of inhabitants is about fourteen thousand. The Rail Road from Lowell to Boston is nearly completed, and will be open for conveyance the following Spring. Another canal is now being dug, and preparations are making for more factories.
The following pages will show the number of fac- tories. amount of capital, number employed and already in operation. Besides the Manufacturing Companies, there are various other establishments for the manufac- ture of useful articles, so that Lowell may be called a place of industry and enterprise.
The great water power is produced by a canal one mile and a half in length, sixty-feet wide, and carrying eight feet in depth, from its commencement above the head of Pawtucket Falls on the Merrimac, to its ter- mination in the Concord. The entire fall is 32 feet. This hydraulic power is distributed by lateral branches of the main canal to the various points where it is wanted for use, and then discharged into the Merrimac or Concord as the case may be. This immense water power, together with a large amount of real estate, is owned by a company called "The Proprietors of Locks and Canals on Merrimac River," with a capital of $600,000. They dispose of mill-rights and lands as they are wanted. Besides these they have a large Machine Shop, in which they manufacture machinery, and employ about 200 workmen.
The first Manufacturing Company, in point of age

SKETCH OF LOWELL.
as well as capital, is the Merrimac. It has a capital of 1,500,000 dollars, with five large brick factories, con- taining 26,000 spindles and 1000 looms. It employs from 3 to 400 males, and from 8 to 900 females, and uses 5000 bales, or 1,500,000 pounds of cotton annually. It manufactures, bleaches and prints 6,500,000 yards annually.
The Hamilton Manufacturing Company has a capital of 900,000 dollars, three large brick factories, contain- ing 16,000 spindles, 500 looms, and employs 900 opera- tives, 700 of whom are females. It consumes about 3500 bales of cotton, manufactures 70,000 yards per annum. Two of the mills make twilled goods, the other one plain. There are also bleach and print works belonging to this company, in which part of the goods are converted into calicoes and fancy articles.
The Appleton Manufacturing Company, with a cap- ital of 500,000 dollars, has two large brick factories, containing 9500 spindles, 350 looms, and employs about 60 males and 475 females. It uses about 1,500,000 pounds of cotton, and manufactures 90,000 yards per week, or above 4,000,000 a year.
The Lowell Manufacturing Company, with a capital of 600,000 dollars, has one factory for cotton goods, containing 4000 spindles, and 132 looms. They use about 1,000,000 pounds of cotton annually, and make 42,000 yards of cloth per week, or 2,184,000 yards per annum. These are coarse goods commonly called negro cloths. This company has also a carpect factory, in which are made from 3 to 400 yards of carpeting weekly. They manufacture the Kidderminister and
2
8
SKETCH OF LOWELL.
Brussels carpets, and elegant rugs of various kinds and patterns ; all of which are equal, if not superior, to those imported. They employ 175 males and 200 females in the two establishments.
The Middlesex Manufacturing Company, with a capital of 500,000 dollars, has one factory 7 stories high, 158 feet long, and 46 feet wide, in operation, contain- ing 3000 spindles, 62 cassimere looms, 38 looms for broadcloth ; employs 145 males and 240 females ; con- sumes 400,000 pounds of wool, and manufactures 200,000 yards of cassimere, and 75,000 yards of broad- cloth, per annum.
The Suffolk Manufacturing Company, with a capital of 450,000 dollars, has two large brick factories, con- taining 10,240 spindles, 352 looms, and employs about 70 males, 440 females. It manufactures twilled goods in both mills, and uses from 80 to 90 bales of cotton per week, or 4160 to 4680 annually.
The Tremont Manufacturing Company, with a cap- ital of 500,000 dollars, has erected two large factories, containing 11,136 spindles and 410 looms, and four blocks for boarding houses, each containing eight tene- ments. It manufactures 600,000 yards of cloth annu- ally, and consumes 170,000 pounds of cotton. Shirt- ings are made in mill No. 1, and sheetings in No. 2, both of which are now in full operation, and employ about 550 operatives.
The Lawrence Manufacturing Company, with a capital of 1,200,000 dollars, has in full operation four mills, running 24,000 spindles and 710 looms, weaving 37 and 41 inch wide, No. 30 and 14, cotton fabrics .-

SKETCH OF LOWELL.
Their Print works will probably be converted into cot- ton mills. They have completed 48 boarding-houses of brick, 3 stories high, 25 by 40 feet; a stone house for the Agent ; and commodious store-houses. About 1160 individuals are employed in their establishment.
The Belvidere Manufacturing Company has been incorporated, but are not yet organized. Manufacture flannel, employ about 70 operatives, and inake 5000 yards of flannel per week.
The Lowell Bleachery has a capital of 50,000 dollars, employ 30 hands, bleaches 124,000 yards per year.
On Concord River, about one mile from the village, there are Powder works, belonging to Oliver M. Whip- ple, Esq. at which is made powder of a very superior quality. 30,000 kegs of 25 lbs. each, are made annually.
There are in Lowell, ten houses for public worship, viz .- one Episcopal, two Baptist, two Orthodox Con- gregational, two Methodist, one Universalist, one Ro- man Catholic, and one Unitarian. Besides the above named, there are three religious societies, which are not as yet supplied with houses of worship, viz .- Reformed Methodist, Freewill Baptist, and Christian Union.
Among other advantages that Lowell possesses as a manufacturing town, is the facility of communication with Boston, by means of the Middlesex Canal. Goods can be put into boats in Boston and landed at the door of the factories; of course, their manufactures can be returned in the same way. But the chief advantage is the magnitude and permanency of the water power .- The present canal is calculated to be sufficient for 50 factories of the size of those already erected, and there
2*

cannot be a doubt but that the Merrimac will always supply a sufficient quantity of water for their use.
We have mentioned that Lowell was seperated from Dracut by the Merrimac River on the north, a part of which place [Dracut] is called Central Village, it lies near Central Bridge. This place embraces a circuit of half a mile, and is mostly laid out in streets, squares and building lots fit for occupation. Ten years ago that tract was almost without inhabitants, where are now from thirty to forty dwelling-houses and a prospect of a rapidly increasing settlement,-and as the interests of the inhabitants of Central Village are so nearly con- nected with those of Lowell, the names of the residents will be annexed, as a supplement, to the Directory. There is an Academy incorporated called Central Vil- lage Academy ; the corporation has organized, selected a site for the Academy, and already secured considera- ble funds. It is contemplated to erect the Academy some time in the present year.
