However, in the 17th and 18th centuries Bern encouraged industrial development in Unteraargau and by the late 18th century it was the most industrialized region in the city-state.
The high industrialization led to high population growth in the 18tf century, for example between 1764 – 98, the population grew by 35 %, far more than in other parts of the canton.
In 1870 the proportion of farmers in Aarau, Lenzburg, Kulm, and Zofingen districts was 34-40 %, while in the other districts it was 46-57 %.
