The wool industry was already important in the region, which had been a Papal territory until 1791. Sheep farming, teasle and madder cultivation, and quarrying of fuller's earth had been carried out there for centuries, and the Fontaine de Vaucluse, the largest spring in Europe, supplied the water and powered the machines needed by the industry.
