Mohawk`s long and distinguished history began in 1878 when four English brothers-the Shuttleworths-shipped 14 second-hand looms across the Atlantic and set up shop in Amsterdam, New York. Its success was instant and phenomenal. In 1920, the Shuttleworth Brothers and McCleary, Wallin and Crouse merged to form Mohawk Carpet Mills. The mill owes its name to the river that winds through Amsterdam.

As carpet manufacturing had become a primarily Southern industry, Mohawk relocated its offices to Atlanta and Calhoun, Georgia. Steady growth through the century led to a spectacular boom in the 1990s.
