Wald (ZH)
At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, there were 16 factories in Wald, all of which made their money from textiles. At this time, Wald was also known as the "Manchester of the Canton of Zurich". In the 1860s, the Oberholzer family of factory owners promoted social welfare by establishing workers' housing and day nurseries. Mechanised industry originally owed its development in the pioneering days to the topographical conditions. Water-rich streams and rivers flow through the municipality and their water power was utilised from the middle of the 19th century: Mechanical spinning mills were the first to set up along Wald's waterways. With the construction of reservoirs, electricity could soon be produced and utilised. A large number of weaving mills were established, making Wald the textile metropolis of the Zurich Oberland.
