About Mechanic Falls, Maine
Mechanic Falls is a town of 3,107 people in Androscoggin County, on both banks of the Little Androscoggin River. In 1765 the Massachusetts General Court granted this land as Bakerstown Plantation to Captain Thomas Baker and his fellow soldiers, a reward for fighting at Quebec in 1690. The plantation became the town of Poland in 1795, and when Minot split off in 1802, the river became the boundary between the two towns.
Settlers reached the Poland side in 1830. Dean Andrews came to the Minot side in 1836 for its good farmland and for the falls, which could power mills. The village took its name from the mechanics who worked in its early shops. Growth came in the late 1840s, when tracks of the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad arrived and put the village on the line from Portland to Montreal. The village became a separate town, incorporated on March 22, 1893.
- Paper from 1850 to 1981The village's first paper mill opened in 1850, and papermaking stayed part of local life for more than a century. Marcal Paper closed the last of the town's two paper mills in 1981, and the town has since built a broader economy and tax base.
- Rifles for Buffalo BillThe Evans Rifle Manufacturing Company, organized here in 1873, made repeating rifles. Kit Carson and Buffalo Bill Cody were among the frontiersmen who liked them. Other shops in town turned out canned goods, bricks, carriages, candy, tools and boilers.
- J.W. Penney and SonsJohn Witham Penney started making steam engines, machinery and foundry goods here in 1872. His sons A.R. and S.R. Penney became his partners in 1886, and the firm grew into one of Maine's greatest machine shops and a major reason the town prospered. The Samuel Penney House, from about 1902, is on the National Register.
- Born here in 1841Mechanic Falls was the 1841 birthplace of Frank Haven Hall. He later ran the Illinois Institution for the Blind, and in 1892 he introduced the Hall Braille Writer. His machine and his work for blind readers helped braille become the main way people who are blind read and write.
- The Stanley Steamer's schoolmasterBefore he invented the Stanley Steamer, Freelan Oscar Stanley was headmaster of the high school in Mechanic Falls. While living in town he met Flora, a teacher and pianist, who became his wife.
