Farley, Massachusetts, is a tiny village located on the Millers River between Millers Falls and Erving.  This manufacturing village was created around 1881, by D.E. and J.B. Farley to take advantage of a falls on the Millers River. Their factory, the Farley Paper Company, is visible here as the long white building on the nearer shore of the river. It turned local spruce and poplar pulp into paper. In its basement was a knitting mill which produced around 10,000 pairs of mittens a year. When the Farleys retired, their factory was taken over by Sawyer Slickers, which produced waterproof cloth. The factory was destroyed by fire in 1950, and was not rebuilt.
