	Cotton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		In 2002, cotton was grown on 330,000 km² of farmland.

	Cotton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Cotton has been grown in India/Pakistan for more than 6,000 years since the pre-Harappan period, and it is later referred to in the Rig-Veda, composed in 1500 BC.
		During the late mediaeval period, cotton became known as an imported fibre in northern Europe, without any knowledge of what it came from other than that it was a plant; people in the region, familiar only with animal fibres (wool from sheep), could only imagine that cotton must be produced by plant-borne sheep.
		The Indian cotton processing industry was eclipsed during the British Industrial Revolution, when the invention of the spinning jenny (1764) and Arkwright's spinning frame (1769) enabled cheap mass-production of cotton cloth in the UK.
