Local city information for Warren, MA
For the former town in Bristol County, Massachusetts, see Warren, Rhode Island.
Warren is a town in Worcester County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 4,776 at the 2000 census.
For geographic and demographic information on the census-designated place Warren, please see the article Warren (CDP), Massachusetts.
Warren was first settled in 1664 and was officially incorporated on January 16, 1742 as Western, MA. (correction, January 16, 1741; see Sylvia Buck; " Warren, Town in the Making, 1741-1991)
Originally a part of Quaboag Plantation, the town now known as Warren was part of Brookfield for 68 years until it was renamed Western. (Correction, Warren includes land petitioned from both the Quaboag Plantation and the "Kingsfield", which included parts of Palmer and Brimfield. See Buck).
On March 13, 1834,, the town was renamed Warren in honor of General Joseph Warren, who died at the Battle of Bunker Hill during the Revolutionary War. The need to rename the town came about upon the discovery of another town in Massachusetts sharing the name Western.. I cannot confirm the previous statement, but it is said that the towns of Weston and Western, were easily confused and that was the problem.
The first Warren was located on land combining parts of Mass Bay Colony and Plymouth Colony. In 1636, Roger Williams (theologian), banished from Salem, fled to Sowams where he was sheltered by Massasoit until he settled at Providence.
Permanent English settlement east of the Indian village began. In 1653, Massasoit and his oldest son sold to certain Plymouth Colony settlers what is now Warren and parts of Barrington, Rhode Island; Swansea, Massachusetts; and Rehoboth, Massachusetts.In 1668, the township was officially incorporated with the name Sowams; in 1691, the Plymouth Colony merged with the Massachusetts Bay Colony.Warren was ceded to Rhode Island from Massachusetts in 1747. The town was named "Warren" after a British naval hero, Admiral Sir Peter Warren, after a victory at Louisburg in 1745. At the time of cession in 1747, Barrington, Rhode Island was unified with Warren, until it was separated again in 1770.
The second Warren and what was known as "Warren, Mass is now located in Warren, Maine. On November 7, 1776, Upper Town of St. Georges Plantation was incorporated as a town, named after Joseph Warren, a Revolutionary War hero. Maine seceded from Massachusetts in 1820.
Our Warren, MA, legends tells, when called "Western" actually tired of being confused with Weston, MA. Warren, MA was created in 1834.
