Wayne
Wayne is a town in Kennebec County, incorporated on February 12, 1798 from New Sandwich Plantation. It annexed land from Leeds (1810, 1859), and from Livermore (1821), bur conceded land to Winthrop (1816, 1838, 1852) and Readfield (1821). The first settler arrived from Sandwich, Massachusetts in 1773. It had also been known as Pocasset.
The town was named for General Mad Anthony Wayne, a Revolutionary War hero who once commanded Fort Ticonderoga and Captured Stony Point, on the Hudson River, from the British.
Wayne is the birthplace of 19th century opera star Annie Louise Cary (1842-1921). The main village lies between Pocasset Lake and Androscoggin Lake on Maine Route 133. Other substantial ponds add to the town's recreational attractions.
