Excerpt from Hill's Gastonia (Gaston County, N. C.) City Directory, 1957: Including Armstrong Development, Flint Mills Village No. 'S 1 and 2, Groves Mills Village, Ranlo, Smyre and West View HeightsSeventy-five years ago this was an undeveloped, backwoods community with nothing to indicate that it was destined to become a giant industrial center. In 1848 some local citizens, recognizing the county's rich natural resources, built the Mountain Island and Woodlawn cotton mills. But industrial development did not begin in earnest until a railroad was built through Gaston County in 1872, bringing the manufacturers into touch with available raw material supplies and the large consuming markets of the nation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
