La plupart des plus anciens villages dans les Cantons-de-l'Est doivent leur établissement à la présence d'un moulin. Rappelons-nous, entre autres Sherbrooke (Hyatt's Mills), Cowansville (Ruiter's Mills) et Rock Island (Kilborn's Mills). D'autres hameaux tels que Denison's Mills, Way's Mills et Kinnear's Mills doivent même leur nom aux premiers propriétaires des moulins.
