Town of Chesterville

Chesterville, a town in Franklin County, incorporated on February 20, 1802 from Chester Plantation. It annexed land from Wilton in 1811 and Vienna in 1847 to complete its current area.

Norridgewock Stream runs north through the town and enters the Sandy River at Farmington Falls. Several ponds (Norcross, North, Sand, Locke and Crowell) dot the landscape, and add to the water access provided by frontage on the larger Parker Pond in the south.

Though a small, rural community distant from metropolitan centers, Chesterville has grown modestly, but consistently, over the past thirty years.
