Randolph
Randolph is a town in Kennebec County, incorporated as West Pittston on March 4, 1887 from Pittston. Within two weeks, it changed its name in honor of Randolph, Massachusetts, which itself was named for Peyton Randolph of Virginia, the first President of the Continental Congress.
Nathaniel Berry, the last surviving member of General George Washington's Life Guards is buried in the Maple Grove Cemetery.
The old Gardiner-Pittston Bridge was opened as a toll bridge in 1853, but in 1887 the two towns (now Gardiner and Randolph) bought it and removed the tolls.
A suburb of Augusta, Randolph lies on the east bank of the Kennebec River at the junction of Maine Routes 9, 27, 126, and 226.
