Dighton and Rehoboth are two adjacent Bristol County towns in southeastern Massachusetts, located roughly 40 miles south of Boston and a short distance from the Rhode Island border. The Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School District serves both communities and operates Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School. Both towns retain a largely suburban and rural character, with residential neighborhoods, farmland, and open space. Rehoboth is known for its historic town center and its role in early New England settlement, and the two communities are linked by the Taunton River, which forms part of Dighton's boundary.
