List of Registered Historic Places in Newton, Massachusetts by village:

• The 13 villages are: Auburndale, Chestnut Hill, Newton Centre, Newton Corner, Newton Highlands, Newton Lower Falls, Newton Upper Falls, Newtonville, Nonantum (also called The Lake), Oak Hill, Thompsonville, Waban, and West Newton.
• Most villages have their own Zip Codes, but some do not. To further add to the confusion, the Zip Codes do not always coincide with the village boundaries which are "unofficial" according to the city. Most residents, though, seem to know exactly where the village lines are. One place, Henry Bigelow House is in the Watertoen Zip 02472 Code but is in Newton, so it was put in Newton Corner 024658.
