Traditional historians would say that our Industrialization Period (it has a different name which I can't remember right now since it's 2am right now) started in 1750 and lasted until 1918 (1918 is the year WWI ended). 1750 was when the Cotton Gin was starting to be used widespread. It was also when factories were starting to become more frequent. 1750 was when people started to move from more rural areas like farms to more urban areas in the city. 1750 is when cities like New York City and Philidelphia began to blossom. It also marks the time when Virginia stopped being the most populated, richest, and most powerful state. Another reason for the 170 marker is because that is roughly the time of the French-Indian War which some historians argue that it sparked the industrialization of America. Guns were also starting to be produced in mass scales in factories around this time. Around the 1750 marker is when the Tabacco industry was no longer the King of the Industries and was replaced by cotton productions.

Industrialization really began when power could be had anywhere, no need for flowing water. The steam engine really made industry. So there was no specific year but you can just mark it from the perfection of the steam engine in England.
