Rowley was created in 1970[1] as the site of a large magnesium processing plant run by US Magnesium. This facility was identified by the EPA as a major air polluter in the 1990s[2] and was investigated by the CDC for worker health hazards in 2005.[3]

Since 2012, Rowley is the site of a titanium smelter plant run by Allegheny Technologies.[4] It is adjacent to the US Magnesium plant.[5] The facility was idled at least in September 2016 because the metal could be procured on the market at a cost lower than the production cost at ATI,[6] The ATI plant was announced in 2006, and budgeted at $325 million.[7] and in the end cost $460 million.[4]
