NPS Photo / Claire Norton Native Americans have lived in Saugus, MA and the New England region for around 13,000 years, since the recession of the glacial ice sheet at the end of the Ice Age between 20,000-15,000 years ago. This geologic event changed the New England landscape, creating new lakes and raising the sea level.
