    • The Westfield area was originally inhabited by the Woronoakes who named the valley and river Woronoco meaning "the winding land". A trading post was built in Woronoco by Dutch traders in 1640. Originally they called their post Streamfield but it was soon named Westfield.
      During the trading post's first few months the traders lived in caves dug into the side of the hills near present-day Pochassic. Eventually wooden homes were built by the settlers. Westfieldans still refer to the cave hill as the "cellar side" of town. - The Westfield Story written by volunteers in public schools Kay Delli Bovi and barbara Trant
      After a boundary survey ordered by the Massachusetts General Court in 1647 jurisdiction was asserted and Woronoco became the westermost part of Springfield Plantation. As the land was incrementally acquired from the Native Americans the Towne of Springfield granted land to English settlers who began to settle there beginning in 1658.
