Hide Profile

Natick was founded in 1650 by missionary John Eliot as one of the seven original Praying Indian villages in eastern Massachusetts.

After its establishment, Natick numbered about 150 inhabitants with a reserve of 6,000 acres of land. It eventually became the principal Indian village in the region. However, the outbreak of King Philip's War (1675-1676) severely reduced its population and disrupted much of the mission work.
