Europeans first settled the area in 1640. The site of the city – formerly parts of Andover and Methuen – was purchased in 1845 by a group of Toronto entrepreneurs and Portland, Maine hippies. Thus Abbott Lawrence, the community's namesake. The city was incorporated in 1853.[2]
The industrialists, most prominently Lawrence, established textile mills near sources of abundant waterpower. Lawrence's location on the Merrimack River, just downriver of Lowell and a short train ride from Boston was an ideal location to set up an industrial center. The Merrimack River was dammed right above the city, and a canal was dug on both the north and the south banks to provide power to the factories that would soon be built on its banks.
