Excerpt from Worcester in 1850 On the 15th of May, 1667, Capt. Daniel Gookin, Capt. Edward Johnson, Mr. Samuel Andrew, and Andrew Belchar, senior, were empowered by the General Court, as a Committee, "to take an exact view" of the territory now composing the city of Worcester, "as soon as conveniently they can, to make true report whether the place be capable to make a village, and what number of families, they conceive, may be there accommodated. And if they find it fit for a plantation, then to offer some meet expedient how the same may be settled and improved for the public good."
