List of mills in Holyoke, Massachusetts

When it was first established under the guise of the Hadley Falls Company, the city of Holyoke, Massachusetts was conceived as a production center for textiles.

Despite protests of the company during the formation of the Parsons Paper Company, that a pulp and paper venture was a poor use of space and unprofitable, by 1885 the city was the largest producer of paper goods in the United States.

[1] Before 1920 the city was the home to numerous paper mills, producing 80% of the writing paper used in the United States, as well as having the largest silk, and alpaca wool mills in the world.

[2][3] The city was also home to the largest paper millwright firm in the United States, D. H. & A.

Despite determinations of eligibility by the Massachusetts Historical Commission as part of the Holyoke Canal System,[5] as of 2025, no mill properties in the city had been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
