Taunton Limo Service — Chauffeured Transportation Through the Silver City

Taunton is the county seat of Bristol County and one of the oldest towns in the United States, founded in 1637 by settlers from the Plymouth Colony and incorporated as a city in 1864. With a population approaching 62,000 spread across roughly 46 square miles, this city on the Taunton River carries two nicknames that tell very different stories: the Silver City, honoring a nineteenth-century silversmithing legacy that included Reed & Barton for more than two centuries, and the Christmas City, for a Taunton Green holiday light display that’s continued every December since 1914.

A Taunton limo service needs to understand this layered identity, along with a founding history unusual for its time. Boston City Ride provides dependable limo service in Taunton built around exactly that mix, whether the trip involves a historic downtown visit, a corporate connection to one of the city’s industrial parks, or a straightforward ride to Morton Hospital.

The Silver City: A Legacy of Fine Craftsmanship

Taunton earned its Silver City nickname honestly, having served as a genuine center of American silver production throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Reed & Barton operated in Taunton for more than 200 years, and companies including F. B. Rogers Silver Company and Poole Silver Company all produced fine-quality silverware from the city, building a manufacturing reputation that extended well beyond Massachusetts.

For visitors interested in this craft heritage, our Private Car Service provides flexible transportation to sites connected to Taunton’s silversmithing history, including the Old Colony History Museum.

The Christmas City: Taunton Green’s Holiday Legacy

Since December 1914, Taunton has hosted a large annual light display on Taunton Green, a tradition that’s earned the city its second nickname, the Christmas City, and continued essentially uninterrupted for well over a century. That holiday display draws visitors from across the region each winter, filling downtown Taunton with crowds that don’t typically visit the city at other times of year.

Our Point-to-Point Transfers provide reliable transportation to Taunton Green during the holiday season, helping visitors avoid the parking challenges that come with the display’s busiest weekends.

Elizabeth Poole and the Liberty and Union Flag

Taunton’s founding carries a genuinely unusual distinction for its era: Elizabeth Poole, an influential woman who purchased the original land and financed the town’s first dam and mill, is recognized as Taunton’s founding matriarch, so central to the city’s origins that Taunton’s official motto, “Dux Femina Facti,” translates directly to “a woman led the deed.” Poole also held shares in the local ironworks and helped found the town’s first church, making her influence on early Taunton difficult to overstate.

Taunton’s Revolutionary-era history carries its own bold statement. In 1774, residents erected a 112-foot liberty pole and raised the Liberty and Union Flag, an early and deliberate act of defiance against British rule that the city still commemorates today through an annual Liberty and Union festival.

Our Private Car Service provides transportation to sites connected to this Revolutionary history throughout downtown Taunton.

Old Colony History Museum

Since 1926, the Old Colony History Museum has occupied the historic former Bristol Academy building at 66 Church Green, preserving artifacts and stories connected to Taunton’s founding, its silversmithing industry, and the broader Old Colony region. The museum gives visitors a genuine window into the city’s more than 380 years of continuous history.

For a self-paced visit to the museum alongside Taunton Green, our Hourly Chauffeur service keeps a vehicle available without requiring separate bookings for each stop.

Myles Standish Industrial Park

In Taunton’s northwest section, Myles Standish Industrial Park hosts 71 companies, including General Dynamics, providing employment for roughly 5,000 residents of southeastern Massachusetts and northern Rhode Island. That concentration of corporate and defense-related employers generates real demand for professional business travel connected to the city.

We support this through Corporate Events & Meetings transportation, holding the same standard of punctuality and professional presentation we apply throughout our South Coast coverage area.

Morton Hospital and Medical Transportation

Taunton is served by Morton Hospital and Medical Center, a 93-bed community hospital on Washington Street near the Route 140 and Route 138 intersection, founded in 1889 and equipped with its own heliport for medical emergency flights. The city is also home to Taunton State Hospital, a psychiatric facility established in 1854 that continues providing long-term mental health care today.

Our Private Car Service provides reliable transportation for medical appointments and family visits connected to Morton Hospital, treating punctuality as seriously as we would for any other kind of booking.

Where Highways Converge at Taunton Green

Taunton functions as a genuine central point for highways throughout southeastern Massachusetts. U.S. Route 44, Massachusetts Route 138, and Massachusetts Route 140 all meet directly at Taunton Green, while Interstate 495 runs through the city’s northern section, giving Taunton strong connections in every direction across the region.

Our chauffeurs plan routes through this genuine crossroads with real familiarity, whether the trip is a local booking within Taunton or a longer connection using I-495 toward Boston, Providence, or Cape Cod.

South Coast Rail’s Future in Taunton

Taunton’s railroad history stretches back to 1838, when the Taunton Railway first connected the city to New Bedford, Fall River, and Boston, establishing Taunton as a major transportation hub thanks to its central location. That legacy continues today through active planning for South Coast Rail, the project extending MBTA commuter rail service to southeastern Massachusetts, with Taunton positioned as a genuine connection point for the wider network.

Our Point-to-Point Transfers provide reliable transportation throughout Taunton as this regional rail service continues to develop.
