In the 1890s, Hydeville was described as "consisting of a few houses about a woolen mill" with a population of about 130. Several of the houses in the village were tenement buildings containing several individual dwelling units.
Wilson Woodworks, a producer of wood flooring, was once located in Hydeville.
