WEBSTER, 18.7 m. (town, alt. 458, pop. 13,837, sett, about 1713, incorp. 1832), was named for Daniel Webster. Industrialization began when Samuel Slater in 1811 set up a cotton mill, which proved so successful that four years later five more mills were erected. New industries were attracted by the completion of the Norwich and Worcester Rail- road in 1840. Today textile and shoe industries are first in importance.
