| As the Massachusetts Bay Colony grew in the 17th century, colonists needed iron to build ships and houses. By the 1640s, America's first successful ironworks on the Saugus River was pouring pig iron and forging wrought iron. Now it is known as the Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site, Massachusetts. At its peak in 1648, the ironworks employed approximately 185 ironworkers, miners, woodcutters, and boatmen, housing them in the company town of Hammersmith. |
