Excerpt from Freight Rates and Manufactures in Colorado a Chapter in Economic History

F rom 1850 when the domestic system of manufacture gave way to the factory, the progress of manufacture toward the West has not kept pace with the westward movement of population. In 1850, the centre of manufactures was a little south of the middle of Pennsylvania, slightly north and west of Harrisburg, while the centre of population was j ust west of the eastern boundary line of Maryland, being thus considerably east of the centre of manufactures. By 1900, the centre of population had moved westward to a point almost south of Indianapolis while the centre of manufactures was a little east of a line from Columbus to Toledo. During the same period manufactures increased from in 1850 to in 1900. This shows a marked concentration in the manufacturing industry.
