Stop googling historical facts to support a weak argument.
Worcester’s first settlement was 1673, not 1637 like your Wikipedia article states.
You know what did happen in the area in 1637? English colonists started the Pequot War, and either killed or enslaved the Pequots, wiping out the tribe.
Quinsigamond is the Nipmuc name of the lake. Plantation was added by the English settlers. Those same settlers who killed and stole all this land from its original inhabitants.
