Sanford, Maine
First called Phillipstown, it was willed in 1696 by Mrs. Phillips to her former husband’s son, Peleg Sanford. Settlement was delayed, however, by hostilities during the French and Indian Wars. Subsequently, the region became less dangerous, and Sanford was first settled in 1739.

LDS History
In June of 1832, two years after Joseph Smith published the Book of Mormon, there came a young man to the home of Daniel Bean, Jr., in Letter B (now Upton), an unorganized territory in the western mountains of Maine, just east of Lake Umbagog. He introduced himself as Horace Cowan, and said another man would be coming from Colebrook, New Hampshire, the next day to join him. One of Daniel Bean’s sons later reported that the preaching of Hazen Aldrich and Horace Cowan was so well received that the Mormons soon organized a church of a large number of members.
Family Friendliness
While walking along the trails that crisscross Sanford, visitors are treated to riverfront views, restored historic homes, parks and playgrounds.
