Some time around the mid-1600s, an English Protestant missionary to the native tribes of the new continent began establishing "praying towns" where natives adopted Christianity and would renounce their tribal ceremonies and customs. One praying town became what is now known as Woodstock. During King Philip's War, it was in 1676 that this praying town, having been deserted, was trounced by the English and their native allies who marched through modern day Woodstock, allegedly burning stored corn and other crops that were left behind. Ten years later In 1686, a group of thirteen men from the hometown of the original Protestant missionary who established the area as a "praying town", settled there and named it New Roxbury. It's name was changed in the late 17th century in recognition of Woodstock in England.
