The earliest settlers to arrive to the Newton Heath area were Frcnch Huguenons. This group settled here in the 16th Century after fleeing continental persecution. They introduced cotton and weaving to the area, and also taught bleaching skills to the locals.

One of the most significant landmarks of Newton Heath is the Rochdale Canal. It was used to move raw materials and manufactured products. It was once the main form of commerce transportation.
The types of industries that used this canal to ship include a soap factory, match producer, and engineering factories. A glass company also used the Canal for shipping purposes.
A large work force had migrated to this area at one time. Therefore, long stretches of low-cost homes were built in the area. This marked the beginning of the chance from agriculture to industrialisation in this area.

During the 19th Century, the population of Newton Heath had increased approximately 20 times. This came along with the construction of the Canal as well as the railroad (arriving in the 1849s.)
