Town of Sweden

Sweden is a town in Oxford County, settled in 1784 and incorporated on February 26, 1813 from a portion of Lovell.

Named for the European country as was the custom in the early 19th century, it has no relation to the Swedish Colony project that populated the towns of New Sweden and Stockholm in Aroostook County.

The town is just north of Bridgton and east of Lovell on Maine Route 93. Its ponds, streams, and rural areas attract hunting and fishing enthusiasts to its sporting camps.
