Village Profile: Newton Lower Falls
Newton Lower Falls, Newton MA  
Newton Lower Falls is a village of Newton Massachusetts located on the Charles River. The commercial area spans across the river into Wellesley, where it becomes Wellesley Lower Falls – this is where a majority of the retail businesses are. The Charles River drops eighteen feet over less than a quarter mile at Lower Falls. A series of three small dams are located along this drop. The primary roads through the village are Grove Street, Washington Street (Route 16) and Concord Street.
The area is now a suburban neighborhood, centered on the park at the old Hamilton elementary school. The historic heart of the village, St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, and the adjacent residential area on Grove Street are listed on the national Register of historic Places as the Newton Lower Falls District.
Waterfalls and rapids that could be used for power dictated the location of many colonial settlements along the Charles River. On the Newton side at Lower Falls, the earliest use dates all the way back to 1704, when John Hubbard and Caleb Church constructed a dam to generate power for an ironworks.
