===Industrial Revolution=== [[File:Allen House (544) Restored (Downsampled).png|thumb|[[Joseph H. Allen]] house in 1880, which still stands today]] The area of [[Eagle Mills, New York|Eagle Mills]] was a significant industrial area during the mid to late 19th century. Many factories sprung up along the banks of the Poesten Kill due to rapids and a waterfall being located in the area. One such enterprise was the Eagle flour mills, which eventually gave the area its name. The building would change hands multiple times before ending up as Millville Manufacturing Company making [[auger (drill)|auger]]s and then Planters' Hoe Company making [[garden hoe|hoes]]. Both companies were under the direction of [[Joseph H. Allen]], who was also [[town supervisor|supervisor]] of Brunswick from 1856 to 1857 and a [[justice of the peace]] in 1861. Allen closed down Planters' in 1862 to serve in the [[American Civil War|Civil War]]. He came out of the war a [[Lieutenant colonel (United States)|lieutenant colonel]], a position that was awarded to him specifically by [[Abraham Lincoln|President Lincoln]]. Planters' opened up again after his return to the town. He lived in a house on today's [[New York Route 2|Brunswick Road]], which still stands.
