Town of Freedom

Freedom lies on the far western edge of Waldo county.  Its first resident was Stephen Smith, a Revolutionary War soldier, who settled here in 1794. Originally called the Smithtown Plantation, and later the Beaver Hill Plantation, it was incorporated in 1813 during the War of 1812 as Freedom. Waterways in the town provided power for various mills during the nineteenth century.  In 2010, the population of Freedom was 719.

The Belfast Free Library holds Freedom town reports from 1966 to 2011.  These reports contain marriages and deaths to 2008.
