Textile Industry in LaGrange, Georgia, La Grange, Troup County, GA

description

Summary

Significance: The development of the cotton textile industry in LaGrange, Georgia (Troup County), exemplifies the development of the industry throughout the South, particularly the expansion of the southern textile industry from 1890-1920. As the county seat and mercantile center, LaGrange always had a diverse economy, but the textile industry still played a major role in local growth and development. The mill village neighborhoods of LaGrange provide many examples of mill housing, and its development and evolution. Today the LaGrange mills are largely intact, although altered by modern additions, and continue to produce textiles.
