Washington
Washington is a town in Knox County, incorporated on February 27, 1811 under the name of Putnam. The name was changed to Washington in 1823 and it annexed land from Palermo in 1854.
Originally honoring the Revolutionary War General Israel Putnam, the town later adopted George Washington as its namesake.
Washington Pond and Crystal Pond provide a summer respite to many with cottages in the area.
Razorville is a village on the southwest end of Washington Pond. The main village is near the eastern shore of the lake. Maine Routes 17, 105, 126, 206, and 220 crisscross the town offering easy access to surrounding communities.
