Natick units
Natick, which is part of the Greater Boston area, is a town in Middlesex County with a population of about 33,000. It was settled in 1651 by English Puritan missionary John Eliot. Eliot, who was commissioned by England's Long Parliament to settle Native Americans along the Charles River, a group that became known as "Praying Indians."
Natick was the first of these so-named praying towns, which were mostly self-governed by the tribal leaders but its citizens were also expected to convert to Christianity.
Natick was mostly a farming area, but several shoe factories popped up on the landscape after the sewing machine was invented in the 1850s. American Civil War soldiers made Natick relatively famous due to their use of the the locally made heavy-weight brogan shoes favored on the battlefield. Natick was also home to the first baseball manufacturing facility in the world.
A fire razed 18 blocks of the town in 1874, but this tragedy marked the building of the locale Natick has become today. The new fire station was erected on Summer Street in 1875, and the building is now the site of the nonprofit Center for Arts in Natick, a venue that has hosted acts like Don McLean, Paula Poundstone and Shawn Colvin.
Nowadays thousands are drawn to the streets of Natick each year to take in a portion of the annual Boston Marathon, and Natick Center contains the revitalized downtown that serves as the center of civic and cultural activities. A Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority commuter rail station connects Natick to business hubs like Boston and Worcester.
