George Alexander Gray, a textile pioneer of the early 20th century, helped shape the development of Gaston County. He was instrumental in the growth of textile mills in Gastonia that became the prominent economic industry in the region for generations. Surprisingly, very few people know of his life, his role in the textile boom, and how greatly he affected the county’s development. The Museum’s Legacy Series explores historic figures from local history and examines their impact on the region. Hear about George Alexander Gray’s life to better understand who he was and how his actions and others like him shaped the development of Gaston County.
