Sidney
Sidney is a town in Kennebec County, settled in 1760 and incorporated on January 30, 1792 from a portion of Vassalboro. After ceding land to Belgrade in 1798, its boundaries have remained unchanged for over 200 years.
Named for Sir Philip Sidney, a sixteenth century author and military commander noted for his bravery and gallantry on the battlefield.
Though located above Augusta on the Kennebec River, a small shipyard building schooners of under 100 tons thrived in the town during the 19th century.
Bounded by the Kennebec on the east and Messalonskee Lake on much of the west, Sidney is located between Augusta and Waterville and is served by Maine Routes 23 and 104.
