Bridgton, Town in Cumberland County, Maine

Located in Maine's Lakes Region, Bridgton spans over 64 square miles of land and water, featuring Long Lake and Stevens Brook waterways.

The Massachusetts General Court granted this land to Moody Bridges in 1768, leading to settlement in 1770 and incorporation as Bridgton in 1794.

The Rufus Porter Museum preserves local artistic heritage while Bridgton Academy continues its educational tradition since the nineteenth century.

The town hall at 3 Chase Street handles administrative procedures, with public meetings scheduled regularly to address community development matters.

Stevens Brook's mile-and-a-half stretch powered twelve different mills, transforming Bridgton into an industrial center during its early development period.
