The section on Massachusetts Avenue between Clinton Street and Main Street is referred to as the “Central Square Historic District,” and the square is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
Central Square is well known for its variety of bars, churches, ethnic restaurants, shops, and live music and theater venues.
Historic churches on the square include Christ the King Presbyterian Church, First Baptist Church, Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church, and more. Many Internet and video game companies have moved to the square because of its proximity to MIT.
