Summary from the Ontario Heritage Foundation's website
The establishment during the 1850s of several woollen mills and the construction of a railway line to Brockville stimulated the economic growth of Almonte. By 1870, the village was one of the leading centres in Ontario for the manufacture of woollen cloth.
