Maxfield
Maxfield is a town in Penobscot County, incorporated on February 6, 1824 from a portion of the Bridgton Academy Grant. The first settler arrived in 1814.
Another early settler by the name of McIntosh soon had his place known as Mac's Field, which evolved into Maxfield - or so the story goes. His lumber mill became an important local business.
A great fire in 1829, according to Chadbourne, devastated the tract almost completely, sweeping off buildings, fences, standing crops and nearly everything. Many left the settlement never to return, and it was long before the town recovered from this disaster. (p. 29)
