Searsmont
Searsmont is a town in Waldo County, settled in 1804 and incorporated on February 5, 1814 from Searsmont Plantation. David Sears of Boston, after whom the town is named, was one of ten who bought land in the area held by the heirs of General Samuel Waldo.
The main village is located on the St. George River and is adjacent to Quantabacook Lake. The lake's name implies abundant something lake or pond, but that something is not clear to historians.
The town is served by Maine Routes 3, 131 and 173 and lies about ten miles southwest of Belfast..
