Post by: Heather on March 30, 2004, 08:03:22 AM

Hello, its funny, the other day someone had asked me what the original names of the seven hills in worcester were.  Funny thing was that I couldn't answer it.  If anyone knows could you please reply?  Thank You!

Cutler's "Jottings from Worcester History" lists Worcester seven hills as:


?      Hancock Hill (780 feet)
?      Green Hill (777 feet)
?      Chandler Hill (721 feet)
?      Bancroft Hill (720 feet)
?      Mt. St. James (Pakachoag) Hill (693 feet)
?      Newton Hill (672 feet)
?      Union (Sagatabscot) Hill (625 feet)

But as anyone who lives here knows there are really about 15 (bizzillion)

I just realized  this site must be using a filter/guard to prevent naughty words and automatically changes what it thinks is naughty.  If you need a hint at the first hill's correct name - He signed the Declaration of Independence with a big signature.  John Hancock.

I fixed it... the software ships with a really poorly defined censored word list.  Surprised it hasn't cropped up before
