Explanation/ brief history: Swaggerville was a small piece of land by founded Sara Swagger. Sara was 24 when she discovered the piece of land that is now known as Swaggerville. She built her first of four cotton factories in her town which took her over a year, as time progressed more people discovered her town and started coming in. She hired people to help expand her land and build more bridges and buildings. As more residents moved into town, more people were hired to work in the factories and the population increased.
