Plantation Returns
- Plantations are a unique form of local government in Maine, existing in sparsely populated areas as a step between unincorporated areas and full town status. In 1840, a law provided that plantations could organize “for election purposes,” only requiring a return to the Secretary of State of the date of organization and a description of bounds. This act was the impetus for groupings of scattered settlers or, more often lumbermen, and large areas were often organized into one plantation. These records range from 1840 – 1891.
Miscellaneous Filings
- The Secretary of State's Office is responsible for receiving many different filings to the State, known as Miscellaneous Filings. The earliest forms of these were recorded in bound volumes and included proclamations and nominations from the Governor, extraditions, and official appointments.
State Census 1837
- The Special Maine State Census, which enumerated the inhabitants on March 1, 1837, was conducted in accordance with an Act passed by the Maine Legislature on March 8, 1837. The law mandated that all inhabitants be counted, with the exceptions of non-naturalized foreigners who had not resided in any city, town, or plantation in the state for four years prior to the census, as well as unassessed indigenous communities.
