'Wayland A to Z': 'R' is for 'Revolutionary War'. What was Sudbury like in 1775? East Sudbury did not exist as a separate town and Wayland was 60 years in the future. Separate meetinghouses had been constructed – one in Sudbury Center and the other, the fourth to be built, on the east side at the corner of Pelham Island and Cochituate Roads. There was very little disagreement, however, about grievances against the English king and Parliament. The well-known confrontation at the Old North Bridge attracts tourists to Concord. But Sudbury shared a common concern with several provincial towns as they tried to overthrow the old government and establish a new one.
