In the 1880s only a few textile mills existed in the South. But by the 1920s, the region had eclipsed New England in terms of yarn and cloth production. Textile mills sprang up throughout the foothills of the Appalachian mountains, an area called the Southern Piedmont, which stretches from Virginia to Alabama. Mills grew in urban settings, like Atlanta and Columbus, and rural upland areas, like Dalton. By the end of the second decade of the twentieth century, more Southerners worked in textile mills than most other occupations.
