Saltaire was founded by Sir Titus Salt in 1853.

There is controversy as to whether Titus Salt was a philanthropist or simply a very astute capitalist. There is little doubt that the quality of life for the workers in the village of Saltaire was better than that of many of their counterparts elsewhere. However, it was also very highly regulated. Whether this was a cynical business decision or a paternalistic one based on Salt's Christian beliefs is uncertain, but it was claimed that the lack of a pub, while Salt himself owned a wine cellar, was to inhibit the formation of a trade union, which Salt forbade. Lfe in the village certainly reflected Salt's own preferences, for example, he built a Congregational church at Saltaire, as noted above, but did not provide for members of the Church of England, whose nearest church was at Shipley.

When Sir Titus Salt's son, likewise Sir Titus Salt, died, Saltaire was taken over by a partnership which included James Roberts from Haworth who had worked at the mill since the age of twelve, and who would travel to Russia each year, speaking that language fluently.

He endowed a chair of Russian at Leeds University and bought the Bronte's Haworth Parsonage for the nation. He is mentioned in T.S. Eliot's Wasteland. He is buried at Fairlight in Sussex.
