Piscataquis County, Administrative division in central Maine, United States.
Piscataquis County encompasses 4,378 square miles of territory, including 417 square miles of water bodies and Moosehead Lake covering 120 square miles.
The county was established on March 23, 1838, by combining territories from the western section of Penobscot County and the eastern portion of Somerset County.
The name Piscataquis stems from an Abenaki language term signifying a branch of the river, reflecting the indigenous heritage of the region.
The County Courthouse in Dover-Foxcroft operates from Monday through Friday between 8 AM and 4 PM, providing administrative services to local residents.
With fewer than six inhabitants per square mile and measuring the size of Connecticut, Piscataquis stands as the least populated county in Maine.
