Hancock County was
organized in 1789, with Penobscot for its shire town. It then included
portions of Penobscot and Waldo counties, and extended northward to the
Canada line. In 1791 a portion was set off and annexed to Lincoln County.
In 1827, a portion was taken off for Waldo. In 1831, and again in 1844 a
change was made in the partition line between Hancock and Washington
Counties. In 1858, Greenfleld was set off and annexed to Penobscot.
