Town of Atkinson
Atkinson is a town in Piscataquis County, incorporated on February 12, 1819 from the unorganized township T2 R6 NWP. In 1837 it annexed land from Milton.
The town has two small settlements, Atkinson Corners and Atkinson Mills. The name derives from a New Hampshire resident who owned much of the area and donated a small library to the community.
Just east of Dover-Foxcroft, its northern boundary, with Sebec, is defined by the Piscataquis River.
