Agamenticus,
The name given in 1636 to the region lying between the mountain and the sea, now comprising York county, Me. It was within the grant given to Gorges and Mason.
There a city was formed, and incorporated in 1641, in imitation of English municipalities, with a mayor and aldermen.
The city was called Gorgeana.
The occupants of the land in Agamenticus were tenants at will of the proprietor.
There English apple-seeds were planted and thrived, and one of the trees that sprang up lived and bore fruit annually so late as 1875, when it was cut down.
See Maine.
