Isaac Sloat, son of original Sloatsburg settler William, built the original stone dam across the Ramapo River in 1792 to power a sawmill and tannery. Two other millers soon followed, above and below the present dam. Isaac's son Jacob reinforced the dam with concrete in 1815 before expanding the mill to produce textiles.
