Raymond is a village in Lancaster County, Nebraska, United States.

Beginning in 1864, settlers arrived in the area and a subscription school was run in the home of Charles and Olive White.

As automobiles became the way to travel cross-country in the United States, Raymond was left disconnected as Highway 79 passed one half mile west of the town rather than through it.

[5] World War II saw the building of the Lincoln Air Base and increasing numbers of factory jobs elsewhere, leaving Raymond behind.

[5] However, Raymond experienced a period of growth following the construction of Branched Oak Dam in 1970.

[5] The dam provided flood relief for the village, but also created a large reservoir surrounded by the largest recreational area in eastern Nebraska.

[5] According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.13 square miles (0.34 km2), all land.

The racial makeup of the village was 95.8% White, 0.6% African American, 1.2% Asian, and 2.4% from two or more races.
