Maine is a state located in Northeastern United States. According to the 2020 United States census, Maine is the 9th least populous state, with 1,372,247 inhabitants, and the 12th smallest by land area spanning 30,842.92 square miles (79,882.8 km2) of land.[1] Maine is divided into 16 counties and contains 482 municipalities consisting of cities, towns, and plantations.[2] In Maine, a plantation is an organized form of municipal self-government similar to but with less power than a town or a city. One difference is that plantations cannot make local ordinances. Unlike towns or cities, with few exceptions, this type of municipality usually includes the word Plantation as part of its full name, which is also commonly used locally.
As of 2023, Maine has 23 cities, 430 towns, and 29 plantations, listed below.
