Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Historical Localities in Northampton: For the Celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the Settlement of the Town; June 5th, 6th and 7th, 1904
Nearly all the inhabitants of the town remained near the center for more than one hundred years. This was from fear of the Indians. After the close of the French and Indian war, in 1760, the outer districts began to be settled. The first settlement at South Farms was made in 1687, but what is now Florence and North Farms was not settled until 1759. Roberts Meadow and West Farms were settled soon after, and Rail Hill (now Leeds) in 1790. Those sections were then covered with dense forests.
