Cotton Milling in Georgia | SocybertyAtlanta, Georgia was the site of the International Cotton Exposition in 1881, all due to a Boston textile executive. It featured the latest technology and machinery of the cotton industry. People from Georgia and all over the south came to see the ginning, spinning, weaving, dying and printing of cloth plus the latest farm machinery and methods of farming. Sponsors were bankers, textile companies and farming equipment companies. As a result of the exposition business owners and merchants realized that every town in Georgia should have it’s own cotton mill.
