For a brief period it was called Haversham, but the name of Westerly was restored in 1689, this name having been given because it was the most western town in the Colony. It is probable that the ninety-two acres of land, which, as above stated, John Witter gave to his son, John, was in the part of Westerly, which, on March 19, 1757, was incorporated as the town 55]of Hopkinton, named in honor of Governor Stephen Hopkins of Rhode Island."
