Norwood High School - Tiot Yearbook (Norwood, MA)

Page 24 text:

The yearbook at Norwood High has been called TIOT for many years, yet many students do not know the origin of this name. TIOT dates back to the time when the Neponsets, a division of the Algonquin tribe, ruled the region. When the Neponsets arrived, they found Norwood bounded by many bodies of water including, as they are called today, the Neponset River, Purgatory Brook, Planting Field Brook, Germany Brook, and Hawes Brook. The Indian word TIOT means enclosures of water, a term which describes the area of Norwood. 20
