The histories written about Lynn identify two brothers, Edmund and Francis Ingalls, as the first Europeans to settle in the area in 1629. Edmund was a farmer and brewer, Francis was a tanner, likely the first of that profession in New England.1 The area they settled was known as Saugus. That was the word used by the Native Americans they met to describe the outlet into the Atlantic Ocean of the Abousett River (today’s Saugus River).2 Because neither brother ever became a freeman, it is thought that two likely had left Salem to escape the restrictions of the Puritan community. Lynn, like the early towns of Boston, Salem, and Charlestown, has no official act of incorporation. Some put the date at 1630, when the admission one or more freeman from Saugus to the General Court verified the settlement.3 In 1631, public records mention the “plantation of Saugus” in a tax act.4 In New England, the term plantation can describe a sort of pre-town. James R. Newhall5 titled his 1862 book, "Lin: or Jewels of the Third Plantation", with Plymouth the site of the first plantation, Wollaston and Quincy the second, and Lynn the third.6 In 1637, a record in the General Court states, “Saugust is called Lin”,7 this to honor the recent arrival of Rev. Samuel Whiting. Who came from King’s Lynn in England.8 |

Lynn has 13 USGS-listed hills. Of those, seven are within the boundaries of the Lynn Woods Reservation.9 Initially called Lynn Commons, the area was shared by the inhabitants of Lynn and used primarily as a source of fire wood. Population growth in the mid-1800’s, and a bad fire in 1868,10 led town officials to purchase ponds in Lynn Commons as a source for water. The effort was lead by Edwin Walden,11 first president of the Lynn Public Water Board, and the person who the Walden Pond in Lynn was named. The construction and road building in the forest concerned Cyrus M. Tracy12 and his “Exploring Circle”, a group who devoted to investigating and describing the woods. In 1881 he formed the Trustees of the Free Public Forest to solicit donations of money and land to preserve the woods. Progress was slow until 1887 when prominent and wealthy citizen, Philip A. Chase,13 became involved. His efforts rallied support and lead to the creation by the City of the Board of Park Commissioner, with Chase as the first president. Pooling resources of the City of Water Board started progress resulting in today’s 2,200-acre park. No hills are named after Tracy or Chase. |
