Taunton /'t??nt?n/ is the county town of Somerset, England. The town, including its suburbs, had an estimated population of 61,400 in 2001.^[1]

The town has over 1,000 years of religious and military history, and is now undergoing a regeneration project. It has various transport links which support its central role in economy and commerce.

Taunton is the site of Musgrove Park Hospital and Somerset County Cricket Club's County Ground and is home to 40 Commando, Royal Marines. Central Taunton is part of the annual West Country Carnival circuit. It hosts the Taunton flower show, which has been held in Vivary Park since 1866. The United Kingdom Hydrographic Office is located on Admiralty Way.^[2]

The town name derives from ""Town on the River Tone"" — or Tone Town.^[3][4] Cambria Farm which is now the site of a Park and ride close to Junction 25 of the M5 motorway was the site of a Bronze and Iron Age settlement and Roman farm.^[5] There was a Romano-British village near the suburb of Holway,^[6] and Taunton was a place of considerable importance in Saxon times.^[7] The Saxon town was a burh with its own mint.^[4] King Ine of Wessex threw up an earthen castle here about 700, but it was destroyed by his queen Æthelburg of Wessex in 722, to prevent its seizure by rebels.^[4]
