United States Geological Survey elevation data shapes the terrain, and Census Bureau files supply the roads and municipal boundary. Buildings, ponds and waterways complete the aerial view.
A woolen mill on Collyer Brook
Gray’s town history places incorporation in 1778 and connects the name to proprietor Thomas Gray. Farms, quarries and mills became parts of the local economy. The town’s population was 8,269 at the 2020 census.
Samuel Mayall established a water-powered woolen mill on Collyer Brook in 1791. His daughters Mary and Phanela took over after his death in 1831 and built the Lower Mill in 1834. The business closed in 1902, and ruins of the mill structures remain.
Reuben Ruby and the work of freedom
Reuben Ruby was born in Gray in 1798. He later ran a carriage business in Portland and helped people seeking freedom travel through the Underground Railroad. He was also involved in founding Portland’s Abyssinian Meeting House.
Ruby sold copies of Freedom’s Journal, an African American newspaper, in 1827. He hosted abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison in Portland in 1832 and took part in anti-slavery organizations. His work belongs to Portland’s history as well as the life of a man born here in Gray.
