History The Pilgrims were just the first group of settlers to establish a colony in Massachusetts. After they landed in 1620, several smaller groups of settlers established communities in the area now known as Massachusetts. The major influx of population came in 1629, when a group of over 1,000 settlers arrived in the New World and established colonies at Salem and Boston. By 1650, there were more than 16,000 members of many different communities and townships all joined under the two main settlers' groupsthe New Plymouth Colony (also called the Old Colony) and the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In the earliest years, the colonists' lives revolved around survival. They had to clear land for fields to grow food and graze animals Time Frame Plymouth Colony was founded in 1620. The Massachusetts Bay Colony was founded in 1630. The Colonial Period is generally considered to have been from 1620 to about 1780. In those years, the population of the colonies grew from the original 101 settlers that landed at Provincetown and later Plymouth to an estimated 268,000 by 1780.

Waltham, Massachusetts Geography Essentials of Waltham Geography The major geographic features of Waltham are the Charles River and several large hills. The river runs roughly west to east in the south part of the city. Since the dam was built just below the Moody Street bridge, the western half of the river in Waltham is navigable by boat. The largest body of water visible today, the Cambridge Reservoir, was created by the damming of a brook near the west side of Waltham. Hardy Pond, the only "great pond" in the city, is in the northern area. The highest place in Waltham is atop Prospect Hill, on a point named "Boston Rock", from which the city of Boston is visible on a clear day. Bear Hill is west and south of that point. Main Street enters from the west as Rt. 117, and leaves in the east as Rt. 20. Rt. 20, also known as Weston Street, merges in at the point where Rt. 117 ends. South Street connects at this intersection, known as Banks Square. City Hall was built near the intersection of Main Street and Moody Street, which is the main business street of Waltham. Lexington Street begins near City Hall, and continues north into Lexington. Totten Pond Road begins at Lexington, and proceeds west, and its name changes to Winter Street as it circles behind the reservoir. Trapelo road spans the entire city, starting near the northwest corner, and proceeding into Belmont on the east side. Beaver Street runs east from Lexington along the Beaver Brook, and intersects what is now Bentley College.
