Brownfield
Brownfield is a town in Oxford County, incorporated on February 20, 1802 from Brownfield Plantation. It then annexed land from Porter three times (1807, 1832, 1855) and ceded land to Denmark twice (1821 and 1907). It also set off land to Hiram in 1852.
Named for Captain Henry Y. Brown, who received a land grant for his service during the French and Indian War, the town sits between the New Hampshire border on the west and the Saco River on the east.
In rapidly growing southwest Maine, Brownfield logged a 21 percent increase in population in the 1990-2000 decade.
