Livermore Falls

The setting off of East Livermore, now Livermore Falls, from the parent town of Livermore was made on account of the inconvenience of holding town meetings and doing town business across an unbridged river. The town meetings would be held in March on the west side of the Androscoggin River, and no one from the east could attend due to the swollen water and floating ice. When construction of the bridge was denied, the settlers succeeded in the division of the town into Livermore and Livermore Falls. East Livermore remained the town’s name until a petition was put forth to the Legislature to change the corporate name to Livermore Falls.
