Beginning in the middle of the nineteenth century, and particularly in the period between c. 1870 and c. 1930, due largely to Woonsocket's prominence as a textile manufacturing center in Rhode Island and the Blackstone River Valley, Main Street experienced several overlapping phases of economic growth as a regional commercial center, all of which are represented in the district.
