Plantation of Winterville Plt

Winterville is a plantation in Aroostook County, settled in 1846 and organized on June 6, 1884 from township T15 R7 WELS and the organization was confirmed in 1895.

In 1903 its name was changed to Hill Plantation, then change back a few years later in 1907.

Located about 25 miles south of Fort Kent on Maine Route 11, the area is an attraction for fishermen and hunters. St. Froid Lake dominates the plantation by running virtually its whole length from north to south, a watery barrier separating the eastern from the western land portions. The Fish Thoroughfare River empties the Lake into nearby Eagle Lake.
