Town of Sullivan

Sullivan is a town in Hancock County, settled in 1762 and incorporated on February 16, 1789 from the township T2 EUR, LS.

The town was named for Daniel Sullivan the first settler, born in Berwick in 1738 and brother to a governor of Massachusetts and a governor of New Hampshire. In 1776, Daniel was commissioned as Captain in the 2nd Company of the 6th Lincoln Regiment.

Once a center of granite production, this summer resort community on U.S. Route 1 and Maine Route 200 overlooks Frenchman's Bay at Sullivan Harbor.

The nature preserve at Donnell Pond, Black Mountain, and Tunk Lake in TD SD, T10 SD and Sullivan is owned and managed by the Maine Bureau of Public Lands. It offers mountain scenery and unspoiled ponds accessible by canoe and foot.
