Dallas Plantation, Franklin County, Maine Genealogy

(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 Number 2 and 3 R1 and 2 and 3 R2 Plantations formed from:


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

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, and it was split into four parts. 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.
