Parsonsfield Town Context for Operators

Parsonsfield was part of the same Ossipee Tract that Francis Small purchased from Chief Captain Sunday in 1668 for two blankets, two gallons of rum, two pounds of gunpowder, four pounds of musket balls, and twenty strings of Indian beads. The township was sold in 1771 to Thomas Parsons and 39 associates, surveyed into 100-acre lots, and first settled in 1772 by 12 families. It was incorporated on August 29, 1785 as Parsonsfield, after Thomas Parsons, one of the largest proprietors. The Blazo-Leavitt House, a fine Federal-style residence, was built in 1812, and Parsonsfield Seminary operated from 1832 until 1949.

Parsonsfield's 19th-century economy was built around the Ossipee River's water power, with seven sawmills and seven gristmills. The largest water power source was at Kezar Falls, where the village straddles the river into Porter — the most important local business was the Kezar Falls Woolen Mill, built in 1880 by John Devereux and George W. Towle. The town is in the extreme northwest corner of York County, about 30 miles from the ocean and 33 miles west-northwest of Portland.

For operators, Parsonsfield is the largest town by area (60 square miles) of any in this directory and includes multiple villages (Kezar Falls, Parsonsfield, North, East, and South Parsonsfield). The 2020 Census recorded 1,791 residents — essentially flat from 2,041 in 2010, after strong growth from 1,584 in 2000. Kezar Falls, at the junction of Routes 25 and 160, is the largest village in the area and is governed separately by Parsonsfield and Porter. The 50-foot-per-mile descent on the Ossipee River at Kezar Falls made it the historic industrial center, and today the same river corridor is the natural delivery route into Porter, Brownfield, and Cornish. Maine School Administrative District 55 covers Parsonsfield, Porter, Baldwin, Cornish, and Hiram — a five-town catchment of roughly 8,000 residents.
