Lowell, Massachusetts, has been officially designated the first “Frontrunner City” on Urban Transformation in the United States under the Global Frontrunner Cities Initiative led by the Urban Economy Forum.
Incorporated in 1826 to serve as a mill town, Lowell was named after Francis Cabot Lowell, a local figure in the Industrial Revolution. The city became known as the cradle of the American Industrial Revolution because of its textile mills and factories.
The community was incorporated as a town in 1826 and was named for Francis Cabot Lowell, a pioneer textile industrialist who was influenced by the organizational reforms of Robert Owen.
Lowell’s textile corporations paid higher wages than those in other textile cities, but work was arduous and conditions were frequently unhealthy. Although the city’s corporations threatened labor reformers with firing or blacklisting, many mill girls protested wage cuts and working conditions.
Lowell, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, is home to many cultures and the city's diverse heritage can be explored through its historical architecture.
