United States Maine  Franklin  Dallas Plantation  Dallas Plantation (T2 R2 WBKP), also known as Number 2 R2 Plantation, and also known as Getchell Plantation, is a Maine plantation in the forests on the west central side of Franklin County. Early, it was part of a multi-township plantation called Plantations 2 and 3 R1 and 2 and 3 R2 formed from:


 * Township 2 R1 WBKP (now Sandy River Plantation)
 * Township 3 R1 WBKP (now Rangeley Plantation)
 * Number 2 R2 WBKP Plantation (now Dallas Plantation)
 * Number 3 R2 WBKP Plantation (now Rangeley)

but that long name was changed to Dallas Plantation in 1845, and changed in turn to Rangeley Plantation in 1852. Multi-township plantations were abolished in 1859. By 1860 Number 2 R2 was known as Getchell Plantation, and by 1870 the same land was being called Dallas Plantation again. In 1884 and 1895 the Dallas Plantation organization was reaffirmed for T2 R2 WBKP land.
