Baltimore weaving company

Maryland's colonial General Assembly authorized the Port of Baltimore in and the town of Baltimore in Baltimore was originally intended as a tobacco port, but there were two problems: the land around Baltimore was ill-suited for growing tobacco, and tobacco growers on the Eastern and Western Shores of the Chesapeake Bay had easy access to docks much closer to them.

So the port grew very slowly. Through the early s German and Scots-Irish farmers from Philadelphia, who were adept at growing corn and wheat, moved into southern Pennsylvania and northern Maryland.

Baltimore was their nearest port, and the rivers they passed on their way to the harbor — the Jones Falls but also the Patapsco and Gunpowder rivers — were ideal for generating the water power necessary to run mills to grind grain into flour for shipping elsewhere in the Colonies Olson 5.

As the Jones Falls flowed between Rockland, Maryland, near the top of Falls Road, and the harbor, the river dropped feet as it passed from the highlands to the coastal plain. The current in the two-mile stretch through what is today Hampden-Woodberry was particularly strong for turning mill wheels Beirne 7.

In , John Stevenson, an Irish-born physician, shipped a cargo of flour back to Ireland as an experiment. It was well received, both for its quality and its resistance to mold.

This was the start of Baltimore's flour export business Keith 6. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Baltimore had some additional strokes of luck:. Because of it's value as a port, the developing of its shipbuilding industry, and European immigration into the port, Baltimore became the first boom town in the United States, almost doubling in size every ten years between the Revolutionary War and Slayden. In , it became the third largest city in the U.

Competition for grist milling became fierce along the Jones Falls; at one point, there were as many as 12 grist mills within four miles of Baltimore Beirne 7.

In the late s, cotton goods, originally imported from India, became fashionable because of their low cost and good looks. We can tell the difference simply by looking at the chair.
