A district before it was a town
Hiram became a stage stop along the Pequawket Trail, a route used by the Sokokis Abenaki between Standish and Fryeburg. The community was earlier known as Great Ossipee, then organized as Hiram Plantation with a name drawn from the biblical king of Tyre. It incorporated as a district in 1807 and as a town in 1814.
Farmers grew wheat and hay, while sheep supplied wool. The Saco River and tributary waters powered mills producing lumber, barrel staves and other wooden goods. Gristmills and a carding mill also operated here. The town had 1,609 residents at the 2020 census.
Hiram was a railroad junction between the Bridgton and Saco River line and the Portland and Ogdensburg Railroad. Peleg Wadsworth also owned land here, buying a tract in 1790. The history includes both a farming landscape and connections through the region.
