Danforth
Danforth is a town in Washington County, organized as a plantation on August 8, 1847 from the unorganized townships T8 R3 and T8 R4. On March 17, 1860, it was incorporated as a town, following which it annexed land from Weston in 1885 and from the former town of Eaton in 1887.
The northernmost town in Washington County, it lies in the Bascahegan valley. The village is at the junction of U.S. Route 1 and Maine Route 169 on the north end of a long lake known as the Crooked Brook Flowage.
Typical of the surrounding area, Danforth has been losing population in recent years.
