Medford is a town in Piscataquis County, Maine, United States. The population was 254 at the 2010 census. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medford,_Maine The Town of Medford (or Kilmarnock as it was originally named) sits some seven miles east-north-east of Milo. The town's first settler was James Grover in 1808, who settled on the south bank of the Piscataquis River, which cuts Medford into two almost equal parts. In 1824 the town incorporated itself under the name of Kilmarnock. The name was chosen by General John Boyd of Boston, who owned the eastern half of the settlement. Historians suggest that Boyd picked the name Kilmarnock because his father might have been originally from the Scottish town. The inhabitants of Kilmarnock petitioned to change the town's name in 1856. The petition was approved and the town became Medford. The town charter was first surrendered in 1940, and the town was reorganized as a plantation in 1942. In 1967 Medford was again organized as a town.
