Littleton is a town in Aroostook County, incorporated on March 18, 1856, from half each of the Williams College (1800) and Framingham Academy (1801) grants. Located in potato country just north of Houlton, Littleton is split by U.S. Route 1 and borders Canada on its east. It is home to the Southern Aroostook Agricultural Museum, established in 2002, located in the former Littleton Consolidated School on U.S. Route 1. — Maine, An Encyclopedia
