Dunstable ( ) is a town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 3,179 at the 2010 census. ==Etymology== (詳細はDunstable, England. There are several theories concerning its modern name. In one version, legend tells that the lawlessness of the time was personified in a thief called Dun. Wishing to capture Dun, the King stapled his ring to a post daring the robber to steal it. It was, and was subsequently traced to the house of the widow Dun. Her son, the robber, was taken and hanged to the final satisfaction that the new community bore his name. Another theory is that it comes from the Anglo-Saxon for "the boundary post of Duna".〔 A third version is that the name is derived from ''Dunum'', or Dun, a hill, and ''Staple'', a marketplace.〔(Genuki entry for Dunstable ), Accessed 26_12_09〕
