Neat. The second version of the song, on the Maine Secretary of State's Kids' Page was the one taught to me in grade school in Old Town. -- Ventric (talk) 18:27, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Province of Maine, including York County not discussed

The Province of Maine was formed in 1622, long before the Province of Massachusetts Bay. York county, Maine was formed in 1636. 2602:304:CDA6:51B0:E0AA:5A3D:8CB0:BE8E (talk) 23:26, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Land/Water area

Total area is not a very useful statistic. Trying to calculate population densities, for instance, will give odd results. Land area is a much more useful piece of information, and would standardize this article with a majority of other articles on U.S. counties per state and their areas. All other county lists, as I can see (Template:U.S. Counties), use land areas. Only Maine and Michigan lists are out of tune. I may try to fix it if I have time. — 2dk (talk) 12:50, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
