==Historic significance of village and family==
The earliest textile mills of Uxbridge were centered at the village of Wheelockville including the Daniel Day mill, (now the "Elmdale" section), the Jerry Wheelock Mill, and the Luke Taft Mill. John Capron's mill was nearby (only a few blocks West) on the Mumford River at Uxbridge. Daniel Day, who married Sylvia Wheelock, and who was Jerry Wheelock's father in law, established the first woolen mill in the Blackstone valley at Uxbridge, in 1809, one of the oldest woolen mills in the US, at "Elmdale" (S. Wheelockville). Jerry Wheelock, who joined his father in law in the business, was then the earliest known Wheelock to become a textile manufacturer. It is understood that the village's name of Wheelockville is derived from this branch of the Wheelock family.
The earliest Wheelock settler of Uxbridge was Lt. Simeon Wheelock, an Uxbridge blacksmith who fought at Lexington, and died in Shays' Rebellion. Shays' Rebellion had opening salvos in the town of Uxbridge. The Blackstone Valley is a corridor of national significance to America's earliest industrial revolution. Wheelockville is the geographic center of this valley. Two of the rivers that powered these early mills flowed through Wheelockville, including the Blackstone River, and the West River (Massachusetts). The family owned business begun by Jerry Wheelock and his father in law continues today, under the name of Berrocco, Inc. (Berroco Yarns Inc. ).
