Masconomet Regional School District is named after the sagamore (or a head chief) of the Agawam tribe in the Algonquian population named Masconomet, according to Historic Ipswich. He survived a pandemic that was brought to his lands by colonial settlers that killed around 90% of the Native Americans in that area. Later in 1638, Masconomet sold most of his land to John Winthrop Jr. and six years later he sold the same land to Ipswich settlers. Winthrop Jr. brought Masconomet to court over this and won, getting his money back. Comments are closed.
