Alexander
Alexander is a town in Washington County, incorporated on January 19, 1825 from the earlier Plantation Number Sixteen.
On February 22, 1838 it annexed land from the adjoining town of Cooper. Then, on April 2, 1859 it gave up some land to the Town of Crawford, remaining as a town since that time.
According to Brunelle, it was named for Alexander Baring (Lord Ashburton) the British envoy who, along with Daniel Webster, settled Maine's northern boundary with the Webster-Ashburton Treaty that ended the Aroostook War.
The Alexander-Crawford Historical Society serves both towns.
