Cumberland County takes the top spot as the most populated county in Maine. It’s not hard to see why as Portland, the state’s largest city, calls it home. As for least populous in the state, there’s Piscataquis County. The county’s remote location and lack of major cities contribute to its small population.
Most Populous: Cumberland County
Least Populous: Piscataquis County
For size, Aroostook County is the big cheese. It’s so large that locals often just call it “The County.” To put it in perspective, it’s bigger than Connecticut and Rhode Island combined. The smallest county? That’d be Sagadahoc County. It might be tiny, but it has a coastal beauty to it.
Largest Area: Aroostook County
Smallest Area: Sagadahoc County
Maine’s counties have some interesting stories behind their names. Take Lincoln County, for example. It wasn’t named after the president you might be thinking of, but rather after an English city. The first counties in Maine were set up back in 1652. York County holds the title of oldest county.
From the rocky shores of Knox County to the potato fields of Aroostook, each of Maine’s 16 counties has its own unique character. But hey, don’t just take my word for it. Let’s look into their details. Below, you’ll find a table packed with information about each of Maine’s counties.
