Welcome to Waldo County
Waldo County formed part of York County's territory until 1760, when Lincoln County was established, which included it until 1789, when Hancock County was established; this next held it until 1827, when, on February 7th, it was incorporated as the County of Waldo, and was named for Gen. Samuel Waldo. The establishment of Knox County in 1860 took off from Waldo County the towns of Appleton, Camden, Hope, North Haven and Vinalhaven.
The present boundaries of Waldo County include 26 towns and 1 city: the city of Belfast and the towns of Belmont, Brooks, Burnham, Frankfort, Freedom, Islesborough, Jackson, Knox, Liberty, Lincolnville, Monroe, Montville, Morrill, Northport, Palermo, Prospect, Searsmont, Searsport, Stockton Springs, Swanville, Thorndike, Troy, Unity, Waldo and Winterport.

Welcome to the final edition of the Waldo County US GenWeb site for 2011. I am sad to say that I have not done a very good job of trying to maintain this site for 2011. It is my New Year's resolution to rectify that in 2012. There are many items that need to be posted and/or updated. I can only pray that we have the success that we once had when we had scores of hits every week. The blame lies at my feet. So let us hope that we have the health, time and desire to resume our old ways. Thank you for your patience.
