Carroll
Carroll, a plantation in Penobscot County, was organized for election purposes in 1844, followed by its incorporation on March 2, 1845 as a town from Plantation Number Six R2 NBPP, then essentially an unorganized township. In 1937 it surrendered its status as a town but reorganized as a plantation.
Carroll lies on the old stage line from Lincoln, through Lee, Springfield to Princeton in Washington County, now served by Maine Route 6, then U.S. Route 1.
The first settler, Luke Hastings, arrived about 1830. The town was named for Daniel Carroll, a member of the Continental Congress and signer of the Articles of Confederation and of the Constitution.
