Taunton
Mass is a city of rich diversity and is divided into five primary neighborhoods;
Weir, Whittenton, Oakland, Westville and East Taunton. Each neighborhood
has its own corner stores, churches, neighborhood associations, parks and
playgrounds. Regardless of where one lives in this city of nearly 50,000,
it seems a small town, friendly and personable.
There is something for everyone in
Taunton. On a sunny, peaceful afternoon, it is common to see members of
the community fishing, boating, hiking or sunbathing at one of Taunton's
various recreational spots, including Massasoit State Park, Watson State
Park, Boyden Park, Sabbatia Lake or the Taunton River.
Downtown Taunton is an active shopping
district as well as being a pleasant scenic area. Another alternative is
that of the Silver City Galleria, a 160 store mega-mall located in East
Taunton. Residents feel the diversity offered by Taunton makes the city
an interesting and exciting place to live and visit.
Taunton Mass is located in Southeastern
Massachusetts, bordered by Rehoboth and Norton on the west, Easton on the
