This article shows U.S. Census totals for Lincoln County, Maine, broken down by municipality, from 1900 to 2000. There are two types of incorporated municipalities in Maine, towns and cities. The tables in the New England Historical U.S. Census Totals series differentiate between towns and cities; however, there have never been any cities in Lincoln County. Most areas of New England are entirely divided into incorporated municipalities, with no unincorporated territory. In the three northern New England states, however, some unincorporated territory does exist, generally in areas that are very sparsely populated. Maine contains significantly more unincorporated territory than the other states, with the bulk of it in interior and northern counties. Some southern and coastal counties, including Lincoln County, also contain smaller amounts of unincorporated territory, however. Some unincorporated territory in Maine is organized into a third type of town-level municipality unique to Maine, called a plantation (considered to be “organized”, but not incorporated), while some is entirely unorganized. Lincoln County currently contains one plantation (Monhegan, which is located on offshore islands), as well as a small amount of territory that is entirely unorganized (Hibberts Gore). Separate sections with census totals for unincorporated areas follows the main tables below. For any census, adding up the totals for each town-level municipality, including any plantations or unorganized entities, should yield the county total. Except for Monhegan and Hibberts Gore, all of Lincoln County is incorporated; except for Hibberts Gore, all of the county is at least organized. For more information on the New England municipal system, see New England town. ==Corporate changes since 1900== *1915 – New town of South Bristol formed from Bristol *1937 – Somerville disincorporated; subsequently organized as a plantation *1974 – Somerville re-incorporated as a town 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Historical United States Census totals for Lincoln County, Maine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
