Because Village green is a very common open area within the village or other settlement Many schools, yards, churches , and other public property were built within the area
For Puritans, community was very important. This was particularly true in the New England settlements, as the population was very small and they were all united by their common faith. Their settlements were built in this way because the village green provided a space that was accessible to everyone. It allowed neighbours to interact with one another. It was also perfect as a place for public services and market interactions.
