King Philip's War 1675-1678

He wasn't really a king like a European king, he was a tribal chief, and he assembled a coalition of tribes to fight the New England colonists and their native allies.

Here's a wiki for the general background and some details

The town I grew up in in Massachusetts was a tribal forces encampment during King Philip's War. We learned about it in grade school.

A few students in our schools were Wampanoags.

Where I grew up in Plymouth County, Massachusetts-
During King Philip's War, the town was the site of an encampment during his raids on the town of Scituate.[4]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockland, ... ts#History

The town did not exist at the time of King Philip's War. That area was not incorporated until 1712 as part of Abington. In 1874-75 East Abington and South Abington, the more economically successful parts of Abington (shoe manufacture mostly), separated from Abington and became Rockland and Whitman.

Did Andy say the town existed? He's not much of a Wiki guy.
