Waldo County Vital Records

Town of Unity

Unity lies in northwestern Waldo County, adjacest to Kennebec County on the west.  The first settlers came to the area in the 1750s, before the French and Indian War.  Other settlers arrived after the war, including Quaker families who arrived in the 1780s.  The town was incorporated in 1804 as Unity because of its "unison in political sentiment."  A Friends' Church was built in 1827.  Today, Unity is the home of the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) and its annual Common Ground Fair.  In 2010, the population of Unity was 2,099.

The Belfast Free Library holds Unity town reports from 1954, 1972, 1974, 1980 to 1982, 1987, 1993, and 2001 to 2010.  These reports contain records of deaths from 1954 to 2010.
