LINCOLN MILLS - HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA - For those of you who have known Huntsville, Alabama, over the last 30 years, “Lincoln Mills” usually brought to mind that urban area northwest of “Five-Points” and the central city. Some of you probably thought of the shopping center (still standing) between Meridian Street N and the railroad tracks along Oakwood Avenue, just west of I‑565. Today this area is made up of many homes, the shopping center, different business, and the most recently built part of Lincoln Mills, only a small piece of what was originally there. Probably, there may be no one still living who saw it when it was at its prime as they built it to be: a producing textile factory known as LINCOLN MILLS. This book is the true story of Lincoln Mills from when it was only an idea back in the late 1890s through what it remains today. The story moves thru the different names of the Mill - Madison Spinning Mills, Madison Manufacturing, Abingdon Cotton Mills, and Lincoln Mills. And it is the story of Abingdon and Lincoln Village, and of “The Queen City of the South,” Huntsville, Alabama. It is also meant as a tribute to the more than 4,400 Abingdon and Lincoln People listed in this book. Lincoln Mills, Lincoln Village, & Lincoln People, is the second book in a series of five about the textile mills of Huntsville, Alabama. We have written it to answer the questions about the origin of the company, its development, and explosive growth and influence in Huntsville and Madison County, along with its unexpected labor and union problems and abrupt closure. To give long due credit to those who built and worked in the mill, those who made it what it was and helped transform Huntsville into the city it is today, we have included the names of all the Lincoln People, over 4,400, we could discover. What we have written has been verified through multiple sources; however, our accuracy is directly dependent on the truthfulness of the sources that provided that information over the past 130 years. If all goes as planned, books three through five will continue the story about Huntsville’s mills, covering Merrimack Mills; Lowe Mills; Huntsville Cotton Mills; West Huntsville Cotton Mills; and Huntsville Knitting Mills.
