- Revere Copper
- What occurred
- Because of Rome’s connection to the world through natural waterways, man made waterways, and by this point railroads, the city of Rome became a city focused oh heavy industry. In 1924 Rome produced 10% of all the copper manufactured in the United States. The Revere Copper Company, Rome Manufacturing Company, and Rome Steel and Iron company dominated the industry in the city. Obviously, this had detrimental effects to the landscape, particularly the water quality.
