The town of Wayland was originally established in 1673 as part of the Sudbury Plantation but did not receive it's name until the early 1800's. In 1835, East Sudbury became Wayland in honor of Francis Wayland, a preacher and president of Brown University, and founder of the first free library in Massachusetts in 1848.

Today, as part of the Metro-West, Wayland is noted for it's rural and pastoral beauty, and its convenient commute to the City of Boston. The residents take pride in preserving open spaces, quiet, and protected land. The community is also proud to support the Wayland school system which continually ranks as a top ten school system in Massachusetts.

The Field at Mainstone abuts a nature preserve of hundreds of acres of beautiful land interspersed with miles of walking paths.
