Railroad Maps and Plans

In 1858, the Maine Legislature passed a law establishing the railroad commissioners, who were responsible for overseeing railroads in the State. From the 1880s to the 1910s many railroad plans were approved by the commissioners, and those plans now reside in the Archives. In 1913, the railroad commissioners were abolished and the new Public Utilities Commission assumed responsibility for railroad regulation.

York County Supreme Judicial Court (1782-1820)

York County was established as the first county in Maine. The Supreme Judicial Court held at least one session in York County each year from 1782 until the Court ceased riding the circuit in 1929. Originally established under the governmental authority of Massachusetts, the Supreme Judicial Court maintained jurisdiction over civil cases, capital cases, offenses of a public nature, and crimes against the public good. In 1820 the Supreme Judicial Court was reauthorized under the Constitution of the State of Mane. The Supreme Judicial Court was granted jurisdiction of all types of cases; all cases involving suits by or against the State; and all appeals of all capital and other offices of a public nature. The Supreme Judicial Court of the State of Maine had at least one session in all 16 counties until 1929, when the Court ceased riding the circuit and sat primarily as the Law Court with appellate powers in criminal and civil cases.
