Histoire
La ville compte une importante communauté d’origine québécoise. En effet, au début du XXe siècle, de nombreux Québécois ont fui la misère de leur région d’origine pour travailler dans les manufactures américaines, principalement des tissages, établies après la Première Guerre mondiale, avec l’aide d’ingénieurs français, tel Auguste Dupire, envoyés de Roubaix, ville manufacturière du nord de la France.
