About Rumford, Maine
Rumford is a town of 5,858 people in Oxford County, where the Concord, Ellis and Swift rivers flow into the Androscoggin. In 1779 the township, then called New Pennacook Plantation, was granted to Timothy Walker Jr. and his partners from Concord, New Hampshire, a city once known as both Pennacook and Rumford. The first settlers to arrive were Jonathan Keyes and his son Francis, who came from Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, in 1782, and the town was incorporated in 1800.
For its first 100 years Rumford stayed mostly a farm town, with sawmills and gristmills running on the power of Pennacook Falls, where the Androscoggin drops 177 feet over granite. In 1882 Hugh J. Chisholm saw that the falls could power paper making. He had the Portland and Rumford Falls Railway built to tie the town into the national rail network in 1892, and the first paper mill opened in 1893, when only about 200 people lived here. Chisholm's Oxford Paper Company came to control the riverfront, and most of the mill town went up between about 1890 and 1920.
“We will build of brick and stone and slate, and we will provide not merely for a house, but for comfort, elegance and social gratification.”
- Strathglass Park, 1901Chisholm didn't want his workers living in crowded slums like those in Lowell and Lawrence, Massachusetts, so in 1900 he hired the architect Cass Gilbert to lay out a 30-acre neighborhood. In 1901 Gilbert drew 5 designs for 51 brick duplexes, and Chisholm's new Rumford Realty Company built them in an oval behind a granite gateway.
- Valet service and $9.00 rentChisholm named Strathglass Park for his clan's seat at Strathglass in Scotland. The paper company kept up the lawns and even offered valet service, and rent was $9.00 a month, plus $1.00 for electricity. After the realty company dissolved in 1948, the houses were sold off.
- Fishing below Pennacook FallsBands of St. Francis Indians hunted and fished at the falls and came here to trade furs carried down from the lakes region. Salmon spawn in a 13-acre pool below Upper Falls, which the fish cannot climb past. Historian George J. Varney called the falls "the grandest cataract in New England."
- The loss of The Don, 1941In June 1941 the cabin cruiser The Don went down off Harpswell, Maine, with 34 Rumford residents on board. No other event has ever killed so many of the town's people. No one ever found out why it sank. Some blamed a German U-boat and others an insurance scheme.
- Black Mountain and WhitecapTwo peaks rise in the north of town: Black Mountain, at 2,133 feet, and Rumford Whitecap, at 2,197 feet. Black Mountain is home to the Black Mountain of Maine ski resort.
