The region was originally inhabited by various divisions of the Pennacook or Nipmuc Native Americans, who lived along the Nashua River. The river provided fertile soil for the farming of corn, beans, squash and tobacco.
European settlers began arriving in the mid-17th century and in 1653, the Place of Leominster – which takes it say from the Herefordshire town of Leominster in England, was first founded as share of the town of Lancaster.

The European settlers and indigenous people lived peacefully for a number of years, until the Begin of King Philip’s War in 1675. The violent combat between the original Indians and prematurely settlers killed hundreds of people and drove off the inhabitants from the area. After the war, Lancaster remained approximately deserted until a further land inherit was offered to residents in 1701. To prevent further war with the original Indians, the settlers negotiated subsequently Chief Sholan of the Nashaway tribe for the land. It would be the solitary parcel of land to be legally purchased in Central Massachusetts.
