History
The town was originally called Newton, and was laid out and platted in 1838. The Newton post office was opened in 1839, and three of the first six postmasters had the surname Raymond. Over time the settlement acquired the sobriquet "Raymond's post office." This was eventually shortened to "Raymond's P.O.," then to "Raymond's," then to "Raymonds," and finally to Raymond. The sign currently on the front of the Raymond post office is a representation of the signage that once adorned the Toledo & Ohio Central railroad station located on the south edge of the town.
Education
Raymond is home to Raymond Elementary School, part of the Marysville Exempted Village School District. Raymond also has a public library, a branch of the Marysville Public Library, which is open for six hours each Wednesday.
