Early Mills Shaped Georgetown and Credit Valley Industry
The Credit Valley Conservation report traces how Gooderham and Worts originated in Halton with McNabb Mills at Norval, then Hillsburgh and Streetsville and Meadowsvale. It notes Barber Brothers woollen and paper mills, Glen Williams and Norval mills, and Georgetown's growth from 1820s to 1848, including Terra Cotta’s map-era routes and mills defining the town.
