Daniel White Wells and Reuben Field Wells, authors of the History of Hatfield Massachusetts, wrote in 1910, that “A characteristic of the town of Hatfield has been a unity of spirit and harmony of action during its whole two hundred and fifty years of existence, in spite of many differences of opinion.” They further stated that “the history of the town is one of peace,” and since 1677, there had been no armed conflicts. The town furnished the founders of two Massachusetts colleges, Williams and Smith.
