Lamoine
Lamoine is a town in Hancock County, incorporated on February 11, 1870 from a portion of the town of Trenton. In 1929 it exchanged some land with the town of Hancock.
The first permanent white settler was Captain Isaac Gilpatrick who arrived with his family in 1774 from Biddeford.
A later, brief settlement by a colony of French included one De Lamoine, who owned a large tract of land west of the Skilling's River.
The growing fishing, vacation, and retirement community has fine views of Frenchman's Bay and Mount Desert Island. Lamoine State Park, with Lamoine Beach, at the end of Maine Route 184, which departs from U.S. Route 1 in Ellsworth, is open from early summer to early fall.
