About Topsfield, Maine

First introduced as a settlement in 1832 and officially incorporated in 1838, the town of Topsfield is a quiet rural community located in the northern frontier of DownEast Maine. Covering 50.1 square miles of land and home to a tight-knit population of roughly 180 residents, the municipality features an expansive wilderness landscape layered with pristine lakes and prime hunting grounds. During the 1880s, the local economy thrived on agriculture, with residents primarily farming wheat and potatoes, though modern Topsfield relies heavily on its vast logging industry and seasonal recreation.

A central highlight of the town’s architectural heritage is the historic Hillside Baptist Church, standing as a prominent local landmark. Positioned right along U.S. Route 1, Topsfield serves as an ideal base camp for a steady stream of travelers and outdoor sports enthusiasts who travel north for world-class fishing, hunting, and trail riding.
