HISTORICAL & STATISTICAL SKETCH
OF THE
CITY OF LOWELL.
-
In 1652, about twenty persons from Wo- burn and Concord petitioned the General Court for liberty to examine a tract of land lying on the west side of Concord river .- Having made the necessary examination, in company with about twenty others, they pre- ferred a petition in 1653, for a grant of the land bordering on the Merrimack, near Paw- tucket. In their petition they represent, that " there is a comfortable place to accommo- date a company of God's people upon, who may, with God's blessing, do good in that place for church and state." They request- ed that the boundary of said land should commence at the junction of the Merrimack and the Concord rivers, and run six miles westerly on the Merrimack, and six miles southerly on Concord river, making a tract of
18
HISTORY OF LOWELL.
about thirty-six square miles. The tract pe- titioned for, embraced what now constitutes Lowell and Chelmsford. The same year a petition on behalf of the Pawtucket Indians, was presented by the Rev. John Elliott, of Roxbury, that the lands lying about Pawtuck- et and Wamest Falls should be appropriated exclusively to the use of the Indians. The petition stated that the Pawtuckets had occu- pied said ground, erected wigwams thereon, and prepared it in some measure for cultiva- tion. To reconcile these conflicting interests, the Court granted to the petitioners from Wo- burn and Concord, the land requested, with the exception of that part lying on the rivers, which was appropriated to the Indians.
The city of Lowell is now a part of the land granted at that time by an act of Court to the Pawtucket Indians, once the most power .. ful and chivalrick tribe in the north of Massa- chusetts. The historian Gookin states, that " the tribe was almost wholly destroyed by the sickness in 1612 and '13; and at this day (1674) there are not above two hundred and fifty men, besides women and children. What that disease was that so generally and mortally swept away these and other Indians in New- England, I cannot learn. Doubtless it was some pestilential disease. I have discoursed . with some Indians, that were then youths, who say that their bodies were exceedingly yellow
19
HISTORY OF LOWELL.
before and after they died, describing it by a yellow garment they showed me."
Gookin says that he visited the Pawtucket Indians in company with Elliott, on the fifth of May, 1674, and that Elliott delivered a sermon to them that evening, from the 22d chapter of Mathew, from the 1st to the 14th verse. The meeting was held in Wanalancet's wigwam, near the Pawtucket Falls. By the influence of Elliott, a certain form of Courts was established among the Indians, at the ses- sion of which, an English magistrate presi- ded. The records of our early history show that the first court in Middlesex county, was held near the junction of the Merrimack and Concord rivers, on the land through which the Boott Canal now passes.
In 1726, Wamesit, as the Indian tract was called, was annexed to the town of Chelms- ford.
Tradition says that the house erected by the Indians for public worship, was built of logs and located on the high ground at the head of Appleton street.
As the English population increased here the Indians decreased, till their number be- came very small, when they sold out their re- maining lands, and removed to the north .- Their last abiding place here, we are inform- ed, was on Fort Hill, around which, portions of a trench dug by them are still visible.

HISTORY OF LOWELL.
The town of Lowell, as incorporated by an act of the Legislature, passed on the first day of March, in 1824, contained four square miles, and was formerly the northeastern sec tion of the town of Chelmsford. The Legis- lature in 1834, annexed Belvidere Village, the westerly corner of Tewksbury, to Low- ell. This annexation extends the territory of Lowell to nearly five square miles.
