Historical Tidbit:
Raynham 's Humble Beginnings
Previous to 1711 Norton, Dighton, Easton, Berkley, Mansfield and Raynham were part of Taunton, though eventually each "moved out on their own" by 1770.
English people, by way of Dorchester, came to "Cohannet," as the area was called then, for more land and religious freedoms. They found three intersecting rivers, cleared land and good soil. The First Parish Church was also started in 1637. By 1640, the town was incorporated; its name being changed to Taunton (after Taunton, Somerset, England).
Its first and major industry was smelting of Bog Iron found in many rivers and swamps in the area. The Anchor Forge in Raynham became one of the first successful ironworks in America. It produced the anchor for the ironclad ship, the Monitor, during the Civil War. Another local forge produced the anchor for the U.S.S. Constitution. Ironworks produced tacks, nails, shovels, stoves and locomotives among other products. Taunton would bear the nickname "silver city" due to the more than 40 silversmith companies existing throughout the years. Even though these towns would separate, Taunton remains the largest city in Massachusetts in terms of square miles.
