The western portion retained the original name of Sudbury, while the original geographical location of the town, was called East Sudbury by order of the General Court. The name of Wayland was adopted in 1835. The town honored Dr. Francis Wayland, fourth president of Brown University, and author on moral philosophy, intellectual philosophy, and political economy, by choosing his name for their own.
