Hiram
Hiram a town in Oxford County, incorporated as a District on February 27, 1807. It was incorporated as Town on June 14, 1814. Hiram later annexed land from Baldwin (1821, 1844) and from Brownfield (1852).
Settled in 1774, the name was inspired by the biblical King Hiram of Tyre whose kingdom was set among timber of cedar and timber of fir.
The villages of Hiram and East Hiram are divided by the Saco River, which winds through the town. Nearby Mount Cutler sports a hiking trail. Maine Routes 5, 113, and 117 serve the community.
