Taunton is a city in Bristol County, Massachusetts, United States. It is the seat of Bristol County. Taunton is situated on the Taunton River which winds its way through the city on its way to Mount Hope Bay, 10 miles (16 km) to the south. At the 2010 census, the city had a population of 55,874. Thomas Hoye Jr. is the current mayor of Taunton, and has held the position since 2012.
Founded in 1637 by members of the Plymouth Colony, Taunton is one of the oldest towns in the United States. The Native Americans called the region Cohannet, Tetiquet and Titicut before the arrival of the Europeans. Taunton is also known as the "Silver City", as it was a 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, giving it the additional nickname of "Christmas City".
The original boundaries of Taunton included the land now occupied by many surrounding towns, including Norton, Easton, Mansfield, Dighton, Raynham, Berkley, and Lakeville. Possession of the latter is still noted by the naming of Taunton Hill in Assonet.

Very important are the opportunities to develop new friendships and new interests.
Many perks available for the elderly. The city sponsors many programs that benefit seniors, including housing, transportation, medical services such as inoculations; day trips and a variety of interesting activities are available at low or no cost. Perhaps the most important /successful provider is the Taunton Council On Aging. Numerous services and activities are available, including assistance with medical insurance choices and with filing income taxes. Choice of activities is very large; the fitness classes are my favorite and are geared to a large variety of abilities. The most important contribution made by the Council On Aging, I believe, is providing many, many opportunities for people to enjoy each other's company while participating in healthy, fun activities.
