Washington Plantation, Maine

Washington is an extinct plantation, now an unorganized territory (township) in the South Franklin townships of Franklin County, Maine. Washington Plantation was originally organized as a portion of Number Four Plantation created from part of Carthage in 1849. In 1858 Perkins Plantation was set off from the largest portion of Number Four Plantation, and in 1860 the small remainder was used to form Washington Plantation. The Washington plantation organization was surrendered a few year before 1900, and has since been unorganized territory.
