At the northern end of Dogtown Road is Dogtown Square, which was the center of the Commons Settlement. The Commons Settlement was first established in 1693 and within a few decades, there were about 60 to 80 homes and as many as 100 families living here. Dogtown Square was the town common and the site of a crossroad. The common was a communal place where people could bring livestock to graze. Although this area is now wooded, it's still a neat place to stop for any history buff as you explore Babson Woods.
