Dyottville was also called "Temperanceville" because Thomas W. Dyott, a glassmaker and temperance advocate, established a factory community there where no liquor was permitted. Despite this, Dyott's own patent medicines contained a high alcohol content. The community had strict rules for workers, including set times for baths, scheduled breaks for refreshments, and mandatory attendance at night school and prayers after leisure time.1
