Union Square

Union Square is home to the best donuts in Boston, according to Boston Magazine. This neighborhood is also the birthplace of Marshmallow Fluff! The square's name comes from the role it played as a site for the Union Army recruitment during the Civil War. Union Square was Somerville’s earliest commercial district to develop, back when it was still a part of Charlestown.

The vibrant neighborhood is experiencing a booming economy thanks to its thriving business district and innovative community. Union Square's Main Street features a coffeehouse, a wide range of eateries, Zumba, and a farmers market every Saturday from May to November (one of the biggest in the state). The vibe highlights the artistic and ethnic strengths of the neighborhood. Five bus routes run through the area providing easy access to the rest of Somerville and the surrounding area.
