Wayland was the first settlement of the Sudbury plantation, established in 1638, and incorporated in 1639. Among the 60 original men, women, and children, were 15 Puritan families who had traveled in the ship Confidence from England. These original families included the Curtises, Grouts, Stones, Haynes, Noyes, Bents, and Goodenows. For more complete history, click here.
