Orland
Orland is a town in Hancock County, settled in 1764 and incorporated on February 21, 1800 from the township T2 EPR, LS.
The township was granted to David Marsh and associates in 1762 and was known as Alamasook (also Alamoosook), then Eastern River. In addition to Alamoosook Lake, the town hosts Craig, Heart and Toddy ponds, and the State's Craig Brook Fish Hatchery.
Located just east of Bucksport, Orland is served by Maine Routes 3, 15, 175, 176 and U.S. Route 1. The old village center is located on the Orland River and Route 175, where the old village school and the general store are located. A dam south of Route 175 creates a long pond up river.
