NATICK
Нейтик, центр обувной промышленности.
Town in E Massachusetts, in Middlesex County, ab. 16 mi. SW of Boston. It has manufactures of shoes and paper boxes. It was founded (1651) by John Eliot, missionary to the Natick Indians, whom he converted to Christianity, and called from this fact "praying Indians". Natick Indians were of Algonquian stock. This was the first of the seven famous Indian "praying towns" of E Massachusetts. The Naticks were practically wiped out by other Indians and the British during King Phillip's War (1675), and by 1680 there were only about 300 survivors.
