Hartland
Hartland is a town in Somerset County, called Warren Town after John Warren of Boston the original landowner in the area, was incorporated on February 17, 1820.
First settled about 1800 by James Fuller, the community had a tavern by 1811, later known as the Hartland House.
Its once substantial territory was set off to Athens and St. Albans in 1821, to Canaan in 1849, and to Pittsfield in 1852. It annexed some land from St. Albans in 1846.
Woolen mills began operating in 1862 as Archibald Linn made blue material for soldiers' uniforms. The tannery, owned by Irving Tanning Company, has been a source of employment in the community for many years.
Located about 19 miles northeast of Skowhegan, Hartland village lies on the Sebasticook River at the junction of Maine Routes 23, 43, 151, and 152. Great Moose Lake, through which the Sebasticook River flows, occupies its northern boundary.
