Buckfield
Buckfield is a town in Oxford County, incorporated on March 16, 1793 from Bucktown Plantation, also known as Plantation Number 5. According to the Town Report of 1977, the first settlers were Nathaniel Buck, presumably the town's namesake, Benjamin Spaulding, Simon Record, and Thomas Allen.
The picturesque, but apparently inadequate, 1881 Roundabout Bridge was replaced in 1977 by the standard steel structure found throughout the state.
This apple growing community lies at the junction of the east and west branches of the Nezinscot River between Turner and South Paris on Maine Route 117.
