Winthrop
Winthrop is a town in Kennebec County, incorporated on April 26, 1771 from Pondstown Plantation. Over the next 100 years it ceded to, or annexed land from, surrounding communities eleven times before its last transaction the annexation of land from Manchester in 1873.
The many lakes and ponds earned the community its early name. The main village lies on the stream linking nearby Maranacook and Anabessacook Lakes. Cobbosseecontee Lake is about the length of the two aforementioned lakes and lies on the southeast side of the town.
In addition to its recreational attractions, the town is a suburban community serving both the Augusta and Lewiston-Auburn areas.
