Raynham traces its roots to 1639, when Elizabeth Pole founded the area as part of Taunton; it incorporated separately in 1731. The Taunton Iron Works, which operated in Raynham and Taunton from roughly 1656 to 1876, is considered the first successful iron works established in Plymouth Colony, and today the town is also home to Wat Nawamintararachutis, reported to be one of the largest Thai Buddhist temples outside Thailand.

Hub Security and Investigative Group provides security guard services in Raynham, MA — armed and unarmed guards, mobile patrol, and licensed private investigation services — for a Bristol County town of 15,505 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). Raynham Center serves as the town’s traditional village core, and the Taunton River and Two Mile River both run through town.
Security Built Around Raynham’s Districts
- Raynham Center — the town’s traditional village core, covered through mobile patrol.
- Route 44 / South Street Plaza corridor — the town’s major retail and commercial corridor, covered through retail security services.
- Residential neighborhoods along the Taunton and Two Mile Rivers — covered through residential security guard services.
What Local Crime Data Actually Shows
According to NeighborhoodScout’s analysis of FBI-reported crime data, Raynham’s violent crime rate is about 2.46 per 1,000 residents and its property crime rate about 10.97 per 1,000, giving the town an overall crime index of 29 out of 100 — a higher crime rate than roughly 81% of Massachusetts municipalities, driven mainly by property crime along its retail corridor.
Given that property-crime profile, many Raynham businesses along the Route 44 retail corridor add mobile patrol and background-checked staffing on top of standard security coverage.

How Hub Saves Raynham Customers Money
Consolidating under one Hub contract also tends to cost less than piecing together separate vendors for guards, patrol, and investigative work: one onboarding process instead of several, no coverage gaps that force you to pay a second vendor’s overtime rate to fill them, and one predictable monthly invoice instead of surprise call-out fees. That matters in Raynham, where commercial properties along Route 44 sit close to residential neighborhoods and cultural landmarks — Hub can bundle coverage across all of them under a single route instead of billing each separately.
Raynham’s own history and culture are genuinely distinctive: the town traces its roots to 1639, when Elizabeth Pole founded the area as part of Taunton, and it incorporated separately in 1731. The Taunton Iron Works, which operated in Raynham and Taunton from roughly 1656 to 1876, is considered the first successful iron works established in Plymouth Colony, and today the town is also home to Wat Nawamintararachutis, reported to be one of the largest Thai Buddhist temples outside Thailand. Hub’s licensed guards support both Raynham’s commercial corridors and its residential neighborhoods.
