Ambridge, which was known for its booming steel industry led by American
Bridge Co., was originally home to a softer side of manufactured goods. The Harmony So-ciety, a Christian communal group that inhabited the part of Ambridge now known as Old Econ-omy Village, raised silkworms and produced silk and textiles during the mid 1800s. Pottery, glass, ceramics and similar industries were
found mostly in New Brighton, Beaver Falls, Beaver, Bridgewater and
Vanport Township.
