Haworth is a village and tourist attraction, in the English county of West Yorkshire, best known for its association with the Brontë sisters. Apart from its Bronte connections Haworth is an interesting village with a long history. It is probably of Anglian origin (c.800 AD) but remained small and rather insignificant until the eighteenth century. The growth of the village was sustained by three industries: agriculture, stone quarrying and textiles. It was the mechanisation of worsted spinning and weaving which transformed Haworth into a small textile town in the early years of the nineteenth century. The writing of romantic novels was a later, and marginal, addition to the town's economy.
