United States Maine  Franklin  Wyman Township  Wyman is an extinct plantation, now an unorganized territory (township) on the central east side of Franklin County, Maine. It was first organized as part of Bloomfield Plantation in 1841. Then it became part of the sprawling Jackson Plantation in 1845. Years later, a part of Jackson Plantation (Eustis) seceded in 1857. Two parts of Jackson were set off as Coplin and Lang plantations in 1866, leaving what later became Wyman as the only remaining piece of the Jackson Plantation. Apparently, it carried the Jackson Plantation name and status until 1895 when Jackson went extinct, and Wyman Township was created. Part of Wyman Township was used to create part of Carrabasset Valley in 1971.
