Elyria’s industrial history dates back to 1816 with Hemnan Ely’s dam and mill. By 1847 the town boasted woolen mills, a Parker Dam woolen mill with a 25 foot high wall and 216 spindle pack, Bradford’s machine shop, and a growing tannery. The era featured the Old Red Mill, saw mills, a flowing mill, and the Lorain County Iron Company’s blast furnace, highlighting a transition from river falls power to broader industrial development.
