Cotton manufacturers founded 1809 by John W. and Lafayette Tibbits in Jewett City, town of Griswold, Conn., as Jewett City Cotton Manufacturing Company; sold to Samuel and John Slater, of Pawtucket and Slatersville, R.I., and Oxford, Mass., in 1823 and reorganized as S. & J. Slater; supervised by John Slater, through an agent, William F. Clarke, until 1831 when John purchased Samuel's share in the operations and thereafter sent his son, John Fox Slater, to assist in the mill's management and the operations of a smaller mill nearby at Hopeville, Conn., which had been purchased in 1825; in 1843 properties inherited by John Slater's sons, John Fox and William Slater, and operated under the name of J. & W. Slater until 1872 when the partnership was dissolved; operations continued to be owned and managed by John Fox Slater and his son, William A. Slater, under the name Slater Company (also known as Slater Mills Company) until ca. 1900; in 1913 reorganized as W.A. Slater Corporation.
