The town is best known as the starting point of the Boston Marathon, held annually on Patriots' Day in April. Hopkinton was named after the town's benefactor, Edward Hopkins, who left a large sum of money to be invested in land in New England, the proceeds of which were to be used for the benefit of Harvard University. The trustees of Harvard purchased land from the Native American residents with money from the fund and incorporated the area, naming it in honor of its benefactor.
