Farmingdale, Maine

Farmingdale is a town in Kennebec County, Maine, United States. The population was 2,956 at the 2010 census. Farmingdale is included in the Augusta, Maine micropolitan New England City and Town Area.
==History==
In 1852, Farmingdale incorporated as a town,〔http://www.mainegenealogy.net/individual_place_record.asp?place=farmingdale〕 combining parts of South Hallowell, North Gardiner and East/West Gardiner. Many businesses existed in Farmingdale, most of them along the Kennebec River. A major business was harvesting and selling ice worldwide. The Knickerbocker Ice Company (the largest ice company in the country), and the Marshall Ice Company had ice-houses at Bowman's Point.〔Illustrated history of Kennebec County, Maine; 1625-1799-1892, Part 1〕 The Knickerbocker Ice Company burned in 1894 or 1895 leaving only the chimney that stood until it was demolished in 1911 to make room for the Central Maine Power Plant.〔http://historichallowell.mainememory.net/page/2499/display.html〕 Other businesses on the river in Farmingdale included shipyards, brickyards, pottery, and a glue factory. Commercial growth in ensuing years centered in Gardiner, Hallowell and Augusta, while Farmingdale never developed a town center to compare with those cities. Time, fires, floods and economic forces eventually removed the larger businesses. Today, Farmingdale exists largely as a strong and vibrant residential community whose residents work primarily in other cities. The distinction between the densely developed riverbanks and the open rural back-land remains. Structures that are on the National Register of Historic Places include the Peter Grant House,〔http://landmarkhunter.com/149614-peter-grant-house/〕 and the Captain Nathaniel Stone House.〔http://www.antiquing.com/oldhomes.htm〕
