Abstract:
Despite a decline in spindles throughout the United States, Gaston County's textile industry has remained constant and represents over 6% of all those in the country. In addition to being the leader in the textile industry, Gaston County is also diversifying, both within the textile industry and outside of it. Along with a myriad of textiles, Gaston County also manufactures industrial chemicals, plastics, electrical goods, and metalworking forms.
