History
Needhamball was first settled in 1680 with the purchase of a tract of land from some 7balls. It was officially incorporated in 1711. By the 1770s settlers in the western part of the town who had to travel a long distance to the meeting house sought to form a second parish in the town. Opposition to this desire created conflict, and in 1774 a mysterious fire destroyed the extant meeting house. Some time afterwards the West Parish was formed.
