New page

In 1839, investors chose the waterfront area known as "Stage Point" for a new mill complex owned by '''Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company''',

whose founders appropriated the original indigenous name of the area now known as Salem.

Construction workers finished the massive brick mill building, popularly known as [[Pequot Mills]], in 1848 and production of fine cotton

textiles began on the steam-powered machinery inside. The company mainly wove and sewed sheeting, which was sold internationally

and shipped as far as East Africa.
