In 1964 the American Thread Company constructed a large modern plant to manufacture cotton thread for clothing on the outskirts of Rosman across from the old Calvert Prison. In its heyday over 300 people worked at the plant. In August 1991 American Thread became Coats America. By 2003 as more and more clothing was being made outside of the U.S. it was no longer cost efficient for Coats America to operate here. On September 30, 2003 the plant shut down.
