A Quiet Place to Find in the Hills

A Quiet Place to Find in the Hills

Well, today, the city of Natick is not mostly comprised of hills but the original settlement was. This is the reason why the city got the name “Natick” which means “place of the hills”, a term used by the Massachusett tribe. Still, even when the city has expanded several times more than the area it originally was, it had retained the name. When exploring the city, don’t worry about strolling and hiking – those are quite easy to do.
