About Our Neighborhood

Whittenton-LOGOreverse.png

Whittenton Village in Taunton, Massachusetts, has a rich industrial history dating back to the 19th century. Originally a mill village, it thrived due to its proximity to the Mill River, which powered textile and manufacturing industries. The Whittenton Mills complex, once a hub for textile production, played a significant role in the village’s economic growth. Over time, Whittenton evolved into a diverse residential and commercial district, maintaining its historic character while adapting to modern development. Today, it remains a vibrant community with ongoing revitalization efforts focused on preserving its heritage and fostering economic sustainability.
