Friendship
Friendship is a town in Knox County, incorporated on February 25, 1807 from Medunkook Plantation. The area was also known as Medumcook, or bay at the end of the sand bar by the Indians, probably indicating a fishing place.
Settled in 1750, its boat building heritage began soon after and became best known for its specialty - the Friendship Sloop.
The town, whose islands extend far out into Muscongus Bay, hosts the Friendship Sloop Races each summer, organized by the Friendship Sloop Society.
Maine Routes 97 and 220 meet in the main village on Friendship Harbor.
