The North Works factory, located in Worcester, Massachusetts, has been a focal point for much of the city's history. Early in the Industrial Revolution, the North Works Station was one of the only manufacturers of wire in the nation. Over the years it grew and expanded, supporting many of the people of the city. At one point almost twelve percent of Worcester's population benefited from the company's success. In time, the company was able to reach into different markets allowing for more growth generating more prosperity. Through many mergers the building became apart of a nationwide marketer for the wire business, almost creating a monopoly in its specialty. The massive growth started with very humble beginnings, starting with two gentlemen and increasing its workforce to the thousands. |
