Hadley

Town in Hampshire County, western Massachusetts; population (1998 est) 4,400. Located on the Connecticut River, 29 km/18 mi, north of Springfield, lies between Amherst and Northampton. Now a residential area, Hadley was settled from 1659 by colonists from Connecticut.

The English soldiers Edmund Whalley and William Goffe, supporters of Oliver Cromwell who had both signed the death warrant for Charles I, fled to Hadley after the Restoration (1660) of Charles II, and died here.
