Site Name HistoryThe site is named after Charles Russell Lowell Putnam, a pediatric surgeon from New York, and his wife Angelica, who owned the land and ran The Putnam Pony Farm there. Historical NotesCharles Russell Lowell Putnam's second wife, Margo, left the land to Harvard in 1969 following her death. On March 2, 1973, Harvard sold 321 acres to Boston real estate firm Land/Vest. Between 1973 to 1974, Land/Vest subdivided and sold the land. In 1974, the Spring Point Association controled the development of the community and enforced the covenants of the Harvard deeds as well as those of the individual landowners.
