Historical Sketch.
From the earliest days of Massachusetts, Natick has been a historical and patriotic town. Soon after the Pilgrims ·landed they journeyed from Plymouth to Providence. Their minister's records show that they camped and tarried on the banks of the Charles River, near the old Cleft Farm, South Natick.
Some years later we find the Indians leaving their homes in other towns and with the preacher, John Eliot, locating at the foot of two large hills near the river in a place they called Natick, "The Place of Hills."
In 1658 came the first white settler, Thomas Sawin, a sol- dier and patriot, to make his home, followed soon by John Carver and David Morse, and as years passed others came to make their homes until in 1762 Natick was no longer an In- dian town with Chief Waban and Takawampbait for judge and town clerk, but having a white board of officers and a population of 537.
Natick was the home of Stephen Badger, Uncle Bill, Sam Lawton and many other well known characters of Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Old Town Folks."
Natick formerly extended to the Sudbury river.
Although a patriotic town, Natick was at the time of the Revolution about equally divided in sentiment as to the best method of government. Many thought the Colonists could

never overcome the British and perhaps it would be best to remain loyal to the King.
Although our neighbor, Framingham, claims Crispus At- tucks, Natick also was the home at one time of this first vic- tim of the Boston Massacre. He was not brought home but was carried to Faneuil Hall and buried with great honors in Boston.
In 1840, Elizar Golding Wight built the first barn in Na- tick, and as the story goes, "without any rum, at raising."
Natick contributed her share to the patriots of early days, as she has ever done in the days since.
When the call for defenders came in 1812-1860-1898 chil- dren and grandchildren of the first patriots following their father's example in supporting this Government, gladly en- listed to serve their country and to give their lives if need be. Natick also had the distinction of being one of the towns where "Cornwallis" in celebration of the surrender of York- town, was held. July 4, 1809, the town had a grand celebra- tion. Bands led a procession of people through the streets.
At three o'clock in the morning January 13, 1875 in the Sherman Block, on the corner of Summer and Main streets, started the worst fire Natick has ever seen, practically wiping out the entire business center of the town.
Before the Boston & Worcester railroad (now the Boston & Albany & N Y C & H) was put through the village of South Natick, was the centre.
Where once stood farms and plantations, now are the manu- facturing centres.
The small farms and the pretty suburbs make Natick a most delightful place to live.
