Abington, Plymouth, MA
The area now occupied by the town was purchased in 1649 from Massasoit, chief of the Massachusett (Wampanoag) Indians, who knew it as Manamooskeagin. (Although supposed translations of that name exist, its meaning is unrecoverable.) It was settled in 1668, incorporated in 1712, and named for Abington, England.
