Brooklin
Brooklin is a town in Hancock County, incorporated on June 9, 1849, under the name of Port Watson, from a portion of land set off from the town of Sedgwick. On July 23rd of the same year, its name was changed to Brooklin, named for the brook which formed the line (brook line) between the new town and Sedgwick.
The village hosts the general store and library at the intersection of Route 175 and the road to Naskeag Point and Naskeag Harbor. The reconstructed cattle pound below is located in North Brooklin on the east side of Route 175.
Long time resident and author E. B. White based many of his observations on life in the town and surrounding area.
