In 1900, the textile firm of B.B. and R. Knight operated 22,000 spindles and 512 looms on cotton sheetings at the Clinton Mills and employed 360 operators. The Knight firm was dissolved in 1923 and the mill passed into the hands of many trustees. It continued to operate as a textile mill into the 1950s.
