Lyman
Lyman is a town in York County, first settled in 1767 and incorporated on March 11, 1778 under the name Coxhall, which was changed to Lyman on February 20, 1803.
Though earlier called Swansfield, it was finally named after Theodore Lyman of York, a successful businessman and Boston merchant to amassed a substantial fortune.
Goodwins Mills, its principal village, has held that name since 1782 when the first saw and grist mills were located there. Its United Methodist Church was established in 1840.
Dotted with ponds, Lyman is a rural commuter community served by Maine Route 111 (providing easy access to Sanford and the Biddeford-Saco areas) and Route 35.
