Established by John Marland in 1835, Ballardvale Mills were powered by steam and water. In 1841 Marland imported English worsted machinery to make the first worsted wool in this country. In 1857 when John Marland went bankrupt, the mills passed to Josiah P. Bradlee, who produced flannels, since the power-driven manufacture of worsted woolens had not worked for John Marland. The new company went out of business in the 1950's.
