Charlestown has a city square that has been created over time. When the town was established, this area included such businesses as a blacksmith, tavern, shoemaker, tailor and several other businesses that residents used weekly. This area was where people came together to decide laws of the town and have meetings concerning zoning, town constitution, and housing for its citizens. The area had burned at one point and the town rebuilt. The City Hall was reconstructed and became a five story building which was large for the time. Permits, court, and other administrative offices were housed here. There is a historic marker showing the date the hall was remade.
