- Description:
- Encyclopedia article providing an overview of the textile industry in Georgia. The rise of the textile industry in Georgia was a significant historical development with a profound effect on the state's inhabitants. The narratives surrounding textiles, particularly the cultivation and processing of cotton, form a distinctive industrial heritage that begins with the founding of the Georgia colony in 1732, before cotton dominated the state's agricultural economy and years before Georgia became the South's leading producer of textiles.
