    New Lanark was founded in 1786 by David Dale, who built cotton mills that took advantage of the power of the waterfalls and homes for the workers. In the 19th century, the village was transformed by the philanthropist and utopian idealist Robert Owen, Dale's son-in-law, who created a model industrial community.
