The neighborhood takes its name from the former woolen mill located within the community operated Peerless Woolen Mills, a subsidiary of Burlington Industries, which was completed in February 1956.[1] The plant has been occupied by Mars, Incorporated since 1978, which manufactures M&M's and Twix bars at the site.[2] Mallory Battery Company, now Duracell, opened a manufacturing plant on the eastern end of the community in 1961.[3] The residential subdivisions within the neighborhood were developed in the late 1950s and 1960s, primarily to serve employees of the industries.
