The Common was deeded to the town in 1841 by the First Congregational
Society, with the stipulation that it be used only as a park. Shade trees were planted at the time, but the common (then over an acre of land) was left unfenced until 1856 for the convenience of farmers. Late 19th century improvements attest to a later period of affluence and community pride, and include a Soldier's Monument (1867), seating (1874), drinking fountain, bandstand (1891), and extensive landscaping.

Other than the large sign that says Leominster, there is no specific sign for the Common.
