Part of the Plymouth Patent, it was first settled as Freetown in 1776-1777 by families from Brunswick. It would also be called Bloomingborough and Wales before being incorporated by the Massachusetts General Court on January 20, 1792 as Monmouth,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Monmouth, Maine )〕 after Monmouth, New Jersey.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Profile for Monmouth, Maine, ME )〕 The name was suggested by landowner General Henry Dearborn, who had fought in the Battle of Monmouth on June 28, 1778.
Monmouth was considered one of the best agricultural towns in the state, producing hay, apples and potatoes, in addition to beef cattle and dairy products.〔(George J. Varney, ''History of Monmouth, Maine;'' Boston, Massachusetts 1886 )〕 It also had excellent sites for watermills.
