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.

We have moved and we have a new look. Our website is now located on space graciously provided by the Maine GenWeb Project. Also, after many years we have decided to give our site a new look. All of the pages have been re-formatted, they have had some color added to them, and navigation buttons have been included to facilitate moving around the website. We want to thank Rootsweb for all the years of hosting our site. Any comments or questions can be directed to Tom Elliott 20 Jan 09
