Sandy River Plantation, Franklin County, Maine Genealogy
- Not to be confused with the Sandy River Plantation that became Farmington, Maine in 1794.
Sandy River Plantation is a Maine plantation in the forests on the west central side of Franklin County. Early, it was part of a multi-township plantation called Number 2 and 3 R1 and 2 and 3 R2 Plantations formed from:
- Township 2 R1 WBKP (now Sandy River Plantation)
- Township 3 R1 WBKP (now Rangeley Plantation)
- Number 2 R2 WBKP Plantation (now Dallas Plantation)
- Number 3 R2 WBKP Plantation (now Rangeley (Town))
but that long name was changed to Dallas Plantation in 1845, and changed in turn to Rangeley Plantation in 1852. Multi-township plantations were abolished in 1859, and it was split into four parts, including the present-day Sandy River Plantation. In 1865 the northern half was set off to form Greenvale Plantation, but it was annexed back into Sandy River Plantation in 1905.[1] [2]
