Waban is a station on the Green Line "D" Branch of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. It is located just south of Beacon Street at Waban Square, in Newton, Massachusetts. It opened on July 4, 1959. Unlike many other T stops in the Boston suburbs, Waban has its own extensive parking lot.
Waban the person was a local Native American convert to Christianity. (See Praying Indian.) Originally, the Eliot stop was to have been named Waban, and the Waban stop was to have been named Eliot, but the two names were switched accidentally when the first train schedules were printed, and it was easier to change the names of the stations than to print new schedules. The Eliot Oak is located east of Annawan Road southwest of the Waban station.
