Reading, Massachusetts<\/h3>
Many of the Massachusetts Bay Colony's original settlers arrived from England in the 1630s through the ports of Lynn and Salem. In 1639 some citizens of Lynn petitioned the government of the colony for a \"place for an inland plantation\". They were initially granted six square miles, followed by an additional four. The first settlement in this grant was at first called \"Lynn Village\" and was located on the south shore of the \"Great Pond\", now known as Lake Quannapowitt. On June 10, 1644 the settlement was incorporated as the town of Reading, taking its name from the town of Reading in England.[2]<\/p>
The first church was organized soon after the settlement, and the first parish separated and became the town of \"South Reading\" in 1812, renaming itself as Wakefield in 1868. Thomas Parker was one of the founders of Reading. He also was a founder of the 12th Congregational Church (now the First Parish Congregational Church), and served as deacon there.[3][4][5][6] He was a selectman of Reading and was appointed a judicial commissioner.[7] There is evidence that Parker was \"conspicuous in naming the town\" and that he was related to the Parker family of Little Norton, England, who owned land by the name of Ryddinge.[8][9][10]<\/p>
A special grant in 1651 added land north of the Ipswich River to the town of Reading. In 1853 this area became the separate town of North Reading. The area which currently comprises the town of Reading was originally known as \"Wood End\", or \"Third Parish\".[2]<\/p><\/div>\n
