About The City of Taunton, Ma.

USGENWEB GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY FOR THE CITY OF TAUNTON

History, Census Data and Photographs

Taunton was established March 3, 1639, from common land called Cohannett.   The majority of the early settlers came from Dorchester in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.   By 1640 the 46 original purchasers had adopted the name Taunton.   The town expanded with the North and South Purchases, and eventually contracted as daughter towns became independent.

Perhaps the earliest industry here was the smelting of bog iron, which began in the mid-seventeenth century.   Among the notable products of the town's iron industry were anchors for ships including the U.S.S. Constitution.   Metalworking has long been a major area of industry here, including iron products from shovels to locomotives, and silversmithing has at times been especially prominent.

The town's locaion, at the head of navigable waters on the Taunton River, made it an inland seaport.   That made possible local industries such as shipbuilding, shipping and coastal trade, and fishing.   Water power from the river drove the growth of factories, including textile mills.   Clays found in the area spawned brick and stoneware industries.

Taunton played a prominent role in King Philip's War, and has distinguished itself in all American wars from the Revolution to this time.   In 1774 the Liberty and Union Flag, which some regard as the first American flag, was raised on the Green in defiance of the English crown, and still flies in many places in the city today.

The town became the seat of Bristol County in 1746, and became a city in 1864.   It has the largest land area of any city in the Commonwealth.   It has grown from a population of 3,804 in the 1790 census to 55,976 in 2000.

Taunton, Massachusetts

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taunton,_Massachusetts

Taunton is a city in Bristol County, Massachusetts, United States. It is the seat of Bristol County and the hub of the Greater Taunton Area. The city is located 40 miles south of Boston, 18 miles east of Providence, 10 miles north of Fall River and 25 miles west of Plymouth. The City of Taunton is situated on the Taunton River which winds its way through the city on its way south to Mount Hope Bay, 10 miles away. Taunton is also considered to be a mill town with several mills in the city as well as in nearby Fall River, the two being the mill cities of the region.

As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 55,976. The current mayor is Charles Crowley.

Founded in 1637 by members of the Plymouth Colony, Taunton is one of the oldest towns in the United States. The city takes its name from Taunton, Somerset, in southwestern England. An English woman, Elizabeth Pole, from Taunton, was instrumental in the founding of the American Taunton. The native Americans called the region Cohannet before the arrival of the Europeans. Taunton is also known as the Silver City, as it was an historic center of the silver industry beginning in the 19th century when companies such as Reed & Barton, F. B. Rogers, Poole Silver, and others produced fine-quality silver goods in the city.

Since December 1914, the city of Taunton has provided a large annual light display each December on Taunton Green, also giving it the nickname of Christmas City.

Taunton once included many surrounding towns, including Norton, Easton, Mansfield, Dighton, Raynham, and Berkley. Possession of the latter is still noted by the naming of Taunton Hill in Assonet, which is now North Main Street, a street that heads into Berkley and Fall River.

Geography

Taunton is located at 41°54'05?N 71°05'37?W? / ?41.901491°N 71.093628°W? / 41.901491; -71.093628 (41.901491, -71.093628).^[4] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 48.0 square miles (124.2 km²), of which, 46.6 square miles (120.7 km²) of it is land and 1.4 square miles (3.5 km²) of it (2.81%) is water. This is the second largest city by area in Massachusetts.^{[citation needed]} Only Boston, at 48.42 square miles (125.41 km²) of land, is larger.

Taunton has one major river, the Taunton River, alongside with its tributaries including the Mill River and the Three Mile River. These rivers are within the Taunton River Watershed.

There are nine designated historic districts within the city:

Due to the annexation of towns from the original town of Taunton, the city now is irregularly shaped, with it (along with neighboring Raynham) roughly making a triangle. The city is bordered by Norton to the northwest, Easton to the north, Raynham to the northeast, Lakeville to the east, Berkley and Dighton to the south, and Rehoboth to the west.

City neighborhoods include the Bird Lanes, Clearview Estates, East Taunton, Elliot's Corner, Herring Run Estates, Linden Estates, Matthews Landing, North Taunton, Oakland, Pine Crest Estates, Pine Hill Estates, Wades Corner, Weir Village, Westville, Whittenton, Whittenton Junction, Britannia Village, Willis Lake Village and Woodward Estates. Taunton is also home to almost the entirety of the Massasoit State Park in East Taunton, and a large portion of the Hockomock Swamp Wildlife Management Area in North Taunton.

Economy

Taunton's economy has historically been based on silversmithing and shipbuilding. Reed & Barton produced the 1996 Summer Olympics medals and exclusively-used silverware for the White House. Also, the city produced the anchor for the USS Constitution. The nearby town of Raynham produced the anchor for the Civil War-era ironclad USS Monitor.

Today, the city's economy has many emphases on semiconductor, silicon, and electronics manufacturing. It is home to corporate headquarters of many leading corporations in various industries. Currently, the city is trying to attract biotechnology research companies to its industrial parks.

Silver City Galleria is a large shopping mall in Taunton catering to not just Taunton but also neighboring towns/cities of Easton, Raynham, Rehoboth, Dighton, Fall River, Middleboro, Norton and others.
