Mass here the reason for all the mill based name is due to origin of the industrial revolution started in Massachusetts. Basically the city of Lowell started the industrial revolution and it flowed from there. The first industry was mills for the textile industry producing textiles. So like every town and city in mass has a old mill building somewhere lol.
