Natick, MA
Natick is a town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States. It is near the center of the MetroWest region of Massachusetts, with a population of 37,006 at the 2020 census. 10 miles (16 km) west of Boston, Natick is part of the Greater Boston area. Massachusetts's center of population was in Natick at the censuses of 2000-2020, most recently in the vicinity of Hunters Lane.
The name Natick comes from the language of the Massachusett Native American tribe and is commonly thought to mean "Place of Hills." A more accurate translation may be "place of [our] searching," after John Eliot's successful search for a location for his Praying Indian settlement.
Natick was settled in 1651 by John Eliot, a Puritan missionary born in Widford, England, who received a commission and funds from England's Long Parliament to settle the Massachusett Indians called Praying Indians on both sides of the Charles River, on land deeded from the settlement at Dedham. Natick was the first of Eliot's network of praying towns and served as their center for a long time. While the towns were largely self-governing under Indian leaders, such as Waban and Cutshamekin, the praying Indians were subject to rules governing conformity to Puritan culture (in practice Natick, like the other praying towns, combined both indigenous and Puritan culture and practices). Eliot and Praying Indian translators printed America's first Algonquian language Bible. Eventually, the church in Natick was led for several decades by an indigenous pastor, Rev. Daniel Takawambait.
The colonial government placed such settlements in a ring of villages around Boston as a defensive strategy. Natick was the first and best-documented settlement. The land was granted by the General Court as part of the Dedham Grant.
The town was incorporated in 1781. Henry Wilson, a U.S. senator who became the 18th Vice President of the United States (1873–1875), lived most of his life in Natick as a shoemaker and schoolteacher known as the "Natick Cobbler" and is buried there. He is the namesake of one of Natick's middle schools.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has an area of 16.0 square miles (41 km2), of which 15.1 square miles (39 km2) is land and 1.0 square mile (2.6 km2) is water. The total area is 7.04% water, including Lake Cochituate and Dug Pond. Natick borders Wellesley, Wayland, Weston, Framingham, Sherborn and Dover.

Natick was the birthplace of modern baseball and the site of the first baseball factory in the United States. In the 1850s, two young ballplayers in Natick, John W. Walcott and William A. Cutler, pioneered important new baseball-making methods. While Walcott designed a more resilient inner core, consisting of hard rubber wrapped in glue-soaked yarn, Cutler designed the well-known “figure eight” stitching pattern that remains the gold standard in baseball about 170 years later. It is no coincidence that both Walcott and Cutler were shoemakers by trade and had considerable experience working leather into rounded shapes.
