Greenbush
Greenbush is a town in Penobscot County, incorporated on February 28, 1834 from the township T2 EPR. One of the larger town by area in the state, it was first settled by whites in 1820.
Located on the east bank of the Penobscot River, the town includes several islands the largest of which, Olamon, abuts the Olamon Stream as it empties into the river.
Olamon, the name of a village near the island, means red paint. The Indians traveled up the stream to retrieve the red ochre they used as paint for decorating their bodies.
