Some prominent praying towns in the Massachusett area were Gay Head, Christiantown ("Okokammeh"), Nantucket, Natick, Mashpee, Wamesit (Lowell/Chelmsford), Hassanamisco (Grafton), Herring Pond (Plymouth) and Nukkehkummees (Dartmouth). Three praying towns were established in Connecticut: Maanexit (Nipmuc word meaning "where we gather") is believed to have been located at the site of present-day Fabyan (Thompson, CT), Quinnatisset (meaning "little long river") was located six miles south of Maanexit, and Wabaquasset (meaning "mats for covering the house") was taken over by the development of present-day Woodstock, Connecticut. These three towns held between 100 and 150 Nipmuc tribal members.
