History

Contrary to a 1970's book by Elmer Munson Hunt, the town was NOT named for Captain William Raymond of Beverly, Massachusetts. The town was incorporated in 1764 by Colony Governor Benning Wentworth. Part of Pawtuckaway State Park is in the north.

This town was first settled by families from Exeter, New Hampshire as a parish of Chester, New Hampshire and known as Freetown because the tall pine trees, which were for the King's use, were usually taken by the local settlers, therefore it was a "free town". In 1906, Andrew Carnegie awarded a grant of $2000 toward the construction of a Carnegie library in Raymond, and in 1908 the Dudley-Tucker Library opened overlooking the Common. Raymond is a town in Rockingham County, New Hampshire County, New Hampshire, United States.
