Historic Map - Sanford, ME - 1889
Description
View of Sanford, Maine, 1889, Published by George E. Norris.
First settled in 1739, following the French and Indian Wars, the town of Sanford was incorporated in 1768, named for Peleg Sanford, the son of Major William Phillips, who purchased land that included the region from the Abenaki tribe in 1661. Sanford's situation on the Mousam River provided abundant water power, allowing the town to develop as an important textile center following the Civil War. The first mill to be built in Sanford was a sawmill built by Captain Market Morrison in 1745.
The Goodall Mills were established at Sanford in 1867 by British born Thomas Goodall. T. Goodall's house is referenced on the map, as are numerous Sanford Mills. The map captures the town as it appeared in its days of rapid growth, with the population swelling from 2,700 in 1880 to over 9,000 by 1910.
