Lagrange is a town in Penobscot County, incorporated on February 11, 1832 from Hammond and Oxford Plantations.
Though prior to 1820 John Bennoch of Orono conducted logging in the area, the first white settlement occurred in 1822 when John Freeze and others moved in. Bennoch Road, Maine Route 16, runs the length of the town, north-south.
While growing in population, this still small community retains its rural, farming and forestry identity.
The town was named for the estate of the Marquis de La Fayette, the French friend of the American Revolution.
