Notes: Beginning in 1838, Cheney Brothers built the silk mills that made Manchester, Connecticut famous and drew workers from throughout the United States and Europe. But after the peak year of 1923, the silk industry began to decline due to a diastrous earthquake in Japan -- a country that supplied most of the raw silk used in America.
