Where was the first dynamite factory in the United States?

Last updated June 20, 2019 by ZagBot Comment

Commercial production of dynamite in the US started in 1868 at the Giant Powder Works near the site of what is now Glen Park Recreation Center in San Francisco. Producing dynamite under licence from Alfred Nobel, the short-lived factory was destroyed in an explosion in November 1869.
