The town of Mexico, Maine was incorporated in 1818, and was named in solidarity with the Mexican people in their struggle for independence from Spain. Mexico’s growth has been tied to the fortunes of neighboring Rumford’s large paper mill, leading to a decline in recent decades. The area has become an increasingly popular tourist destination for its beautiful hills and forests and access to nearby mountains.
