A portion of the land asked for by the Sudbury people had already been granted to the Indians, upon the petition of the Apostle Eliot in their behalf, and the General Court granted permission to the Sudbury men to form a plantation on such a part of the land asked for as was not already in possession of the Indians, provided that twenty or more families should be settled there within three years. These conditions were accepted by the. Sudbury men, and the plantation was laid out by Edward Jackson, Thomas Danforth, Ephraim Child and Capt. Lusher. The plantation laid out for the Indians was known by the name of Ochoocangansett and was situated in the northeasterly section of the present city and included the-hill, back of the High School Common and, in fact, the Common itself. The Indian, Planting Field consisted of some one hundred and fifty acres located on the hill back of the Common. The plantation extended north and east about three miles and conjoined about six thousand acres in a wild and uncultivated state. The English plantation was situated to the south and west of the Indian plantation and included the present towns of Northboro, Southboro and Westboro.
