The village of Gates Mills derives its name from
its founder, Holsey Gates, and from the importance of mills in the agricultural community.
In 1826, the year of Gates Mills' founding, a
sawmill was constructed to increase the lumber
supply and attract new settlers. In the following year,
a rake factory was established, and by
1829 a gristmill was in operation. The Chagrin
River was dammed to create a millrace that
regulated the flow of water to the wheels that
powered the mills. Shops and houses encircled
the mills, which were the center of industry in
Gates Mills.
