Talk:Orrington, Maine

I flagged the unsourced statement that Orrington was part of the Kenduskeag Plantation. According to William D. Williamson's 1832 History of the State of Maine, Kenduskeag Plantation "extended from the first house north of Wheeler's mills at Soadabscook [later Hampden], to Stillwater [later Orono and Old Town]. It contained, in 1790, 567 inhabitants, including adjacents". This included (without the "adjacents") the present city of Bangor (incorporated 1791) and the towns of Orono (incorporated 1806), Old Town (set off from Orono in 1840), and Veazie (set off from Bangor in 1853).

If Orrington was incorporated in 1788, it should have been mentioned here.

However, in the first census from 1790, Orrington is listed separately from Kenduskeag Plantation. Wuerzele (talk) 19:00, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
