Neat. The second version of the song, on the Maine Secretary of State's Kids' Page was the one taught to me in grade school in Old Town. -- Ventric (talk) 18:27, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Province of Maine, including York County not discussed[edit]

The Province of Maine was formed in 1622, long before the Province of Massachusetts Bay. York county, Maine was formed in 1636. 2602:304:CDA6:51B0:E0AA:5A3D:8CB0:BE8E (talk) 23:26, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Land/Water area[edit]

Total area is not a very useful statistic. Trying to calculate population densities, for instance, will give odd results. Land area is a much more useful piece of information, and would standardize this article with a majority of other articles on U.S. counties per state and their areas. All other county lists, as I can see (Template:U.S. Counties), use land areas. Only Maine and Michigan lists are out of tune. I may try to fix it if I have time. — 2dk (talk) 12:50, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
