Samuel Blodgett began a canal to bypass the
steep falls in 1793, with money provided by a
lottery. The canal was finished in 1807. Mills
then sprang up on both sides of the river
below the falls. The world renowned Amoskeag
Manufacturing Company flourished here for a
century, operating 64 mills, covering a mile
and half of ground, housing 700,000 spindles
and 23,000 looms which turned out 500,000
yards of cloth each week.
