Orrington, Maine

Orrington is a town on the Penobscot River estuary in Penobscot County, Maine, United States.〔DeLorme Mapping Company ''The Maine Atlas and Gazetteer'' (13th edition) (1988) ISBN 0-89933-035-5 map 23〕 The population was 3,733 at the 2010 census.
==History==

Orrington was originally part of Condustiegg (or Kenduskeag) Plantation, which also included the present-day cities of Bangor and Brewer. Orrington was incorporated as a town in 1788 with its major village at Brewer, then called "New Worcester". Bangor incorporated three years later in 1791. Brewer broke away from Orrington in 1812 to form a separate town.
The name "Orrington" reportedly resulted from a spelling mistake. The settlers intended to name it "Orangetown" after Orangetown, Maryland, but it was written on the record-books in distant Massachusetts, of which Maine was then a territory, as "Orrington". "Orring" was a reasonable phonetic rendering of "orange" before the standardization of English spelling.〔George J. Varney, ''Gazetteer of the State of Maine'' (Boston, 1886)〕
