Cotton Mill Place

History of the Cotton Mill... The Woodside brothers constructed the Woodside Cotton Mill and village in 1908. The vibrant mill remained Simpsonville's largest employer until after WWII. With over 600 looms and 25,000 spindles, the mill employed over 6,000 people during the 1950's , and was the heart of the community. In 1989 the mill closed after serving 81 years. Now, just 17 years later, the Woodside Cotton Mill has been reborn and is set once again to serve as the life and heart of the community. Below are photos of the original mill and some of it's employees from 1913! What once was the Woodside Cotton Mill is now Cotton Mill Place!
