The Massachuset Indian word, Natick, means A place of hills. (South Natick, the original settlement, is a hilly section along the Charles River.) To the Natick Praying Indians, Natick also means, My home.
Other Naticks, named after ours, exist in Rhode Island and Nebraska. And then there's what once was Natick Island, or Capoag Island: south of Cape Cod in the Atlantic Ocean lies Martha's Vinyard and, at its east, Chappaquiddick Island. At "Chappy's" northern tip, Natick Island stood across a channel until, about 1725, a storm closed off the channel and added Natick Island to Cape Page.
