Lincoln
Lincoln is a town in Penobscot County, incorporated on January 30, 1829 from River townships number 2 and 3, and a half township granted to J. E. Foxcroft.
Settled in about 1822, a substantial number of families arrived in 1825. Enoch Lincoln was the major landowner of the area. After he was elected Governor in 1827, the town was named in his honor upon incorporation two years later.
The town has been a manufacturing center for pulp and paper, shoes and textiles. Recent years have seen a declining population as that economic sector has declined.
