Framingham was first settled in sixteen fifty and was officially incorporated in seventeen hundred on land formerly known as Danforth's Farms, named after Salem Witch Trials judge Thomas Danforth of Framlingham, England. Why the "L" was dropped for the new town's name is not known. In the years prior to the Civil War, Framingham was an annual gathering-spot for members of the Abolitionist movement. Every Independence Day from eighteen fifty-four to eighteen sixty-five, the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society held a rally in a picnic area called Harmony Grove near what is now downtown Framingham. At the eighteen fifty-four rally, William Lloyd Garrison burned copies of the Fugitive Slave Law of eighteen fifty, judicial decisions enforcing it, and the United States Constitution. Other prominent Abolitionists present that day included William C. Nell, Sojourner Truth, Wendell Phillips, Lucy Stone, and Henry David Thoreau.
