The East Princeton Village Historic District is a historic district encompassing a 19th-century industrial village center in Princeton, Massachusetts.[2] It is located roughly along Main Street between Beaman and Leominster Roads, and extends a short way along Leominster and Gleason Roads. The village grew up around the Keyes Brook, which was used as a power source for mills in the mid-19th century, particularly the successful Stuart Chair Factory which was established in 1841.[2]

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[1]
