Kilbirnie developed around the church. The village developed as a weaving village, having about 950 residents by 1800. In 1778 a local man, Robert Knox, established a small linen bleaching facility and soon started a thread mill to make thread for tailoring and fish nets. His sons William and James started the company W & J Knox. They opened Dennyholm Mill in 1830, took over Stoneyholm Mill in 1864 and then Garnock Mill, which does not appear on the 1895 Ordnance Survey map. The firm eventually also owned mills in Canada and the USA. In addition to the thread mills, W & J Knox produced fish nets in Kilbirnie. Glengarnock Steel Works on the Southern edge of nearby Kilbirnie Loch commenced production in 1841. The mills and steelworks led to a large increase in employment, with KIlbrinie's population at 5,500 in 1851.

The two railway companies merged in 1923 and the first station was closed in 1930 with the second station closing in 1966. Dennyholm Mill closed in the 1960s.  Stoneyholm Mill was converted to manufacturing fish nets and twine early in the 10th century. W & J Knox stopped producing linen threads for domestic and decorative purposes in 1990 and for carpets in 2014, only occupying a small part of Stoneyholm Mill from then making industrial and military.

KilbirnieMap.1912.jpg

Kilbirnie developed around the church. The village developed as a weaving village, having about 950 residents by 1800. In 1778 a local man, Robert Knox, established a small linen bleaching facility and soon started a thread mill to make thread for tailoring and fish nets. His sons William and James started the company W & J Knox. They opened Dennyholm Mill in 1830, took over Stoneyholm Mill in 1864 and then Garnock Mill, which does not appear on the 1895 Ordnance Survey map. The firm eventually also owned mills in Canada and the USA. In addition to the thread mills, W & J Knox produced fish nets in Kilbirnie. Glengarnock Steel Works on the Southern edge of nearby Kilbirnie Loch commenced production in 1841. The mills and steelworks led to a large increase in employment, with KIlbrinie's population at 5,500 in 1851.

A train station was opened in 1889. A second station was opened on another line in 1905. In 1913 networkers, all women, went on strike for 5 months before achieving improved wages and conditions. At this time it was the longest strike by women.

The two railway companies merged in 1923 and the first station was closed in 1930 with the second station closing in 1966. Dennyholm Mill closed in the 1960s. Stoneyholm Mill was converted to manufacturing fish nets and twine early in the 10th century. W & J Knox stopped producing linen threads for domestic and decorative purposes in 1990 and for carpets in 2014, only occupying a small part of Stoneyholm Mill from then making industrial and military. The steelworks, which was the main employer of the men in the town, closed in 1985.

The map opposite, from a reproduction with the permission of the National Library of Scotland, shows the Kilbirnie area in 1912 with Gargurnock Steelworks the complex at the Southern edge of Kilbirnie Loch.
