Brief
History:
Lincoln County is a county
located in the U.S. state of Maine.
Its seat is Wiscasset. The county
was founded in 1760 by
the Massachusetts General Court from
a portion of York County, Massachusetts
and named after the English city Lincoln,
the
birthplace of Massachusetts Bay
Provincial Governor Thomas Pownall.
At its founding, Lincoln County
accounted for three-fifths of the state's
land, and stretched east to Nova Scotia.
Thirteen
counties were cut out of this land
including lincoln County to the west and a
portion of Kennebec County to the north.
