About Orrington, Maine
Orrington is a town of 3,812 people in Penobscot County, on the estuary of the Penobscot River. It began as part of Kenduskeag Plantation, also called Condustiegg, a tract that also took in the land of today's Bangor and Brewer. When Orrington was incorporated in 1788, its main village was the settlement now called Brewer, which went by New Worcester.
Bangor was incorporated three years later, in 1791. In 1812 Brewer broke off and formed its own town, and the remaining land along the river kept the name Orrington. Today the town covers 27.33 square miles, and 2.34 square miles of that is water.
- Named by a spelling mistakeThe settlers meant to call their town Orangetown, after Orangetown, Maryland. Maine was still part of Massachusetts then, and far off in Massachusetts the name was written down as Orrington. Before English spelling was standardized, "Orring" was a fair way to sound out "orange."
- Ships and river iceFor much of its history Orrington lived by building and shipping vessels. The Boston & Penobscot Shipbuilding Company had its yard on Mill Creek in South Orrington. Ice cut from the Penobscot went out by ship, some of it as far as the British West Indies.
- The HoltraChem cleanupThe HoltraChem plant covered 235 acres beside the Penobscot and made chlorine and other chemicals for Maine's paper and pulp mills. Starting in 1967 it put as much as 13 tons of mercury into the river, and the state later closed a lobster and crab fishery. The plant shut in September 2000, ending 72 jobs, and that year the Maine People's Alliance and NRDC sued Mallinckrodt US LLC. A settlement in March 2021 began a river cleanup plan.
