Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The earliest factories were powered by water, both in the United States and England, so they were built near rivers. Massachusetts became home to some of the first factories thanks to local waterways. Once the steam engine was invented, it became possible to locate factories anywhere. At this point, they moved to urban centers where the workforce was most plentiful.
