| Publisher Description: In the heart of the Blackstone River Valley, Woonsocket is a thriving industrial community with a rich history founded on seventeenth-century saw and grist mills. Its nineteenth-century textile mills were a major force in the industrial revolution, and today its businesses meet the challenges of new ideas and new technology. |
