With 24 states in the Union, Canton was incorporated during the presidency of James Monroe
in 1821 as Mexico declared independence from Spain, 9 years after the War of 1812, 20
years before the first wagon train rolled onto the Oregon Trail, and a full 46 years before
the $7.2 million purchase of Alaska from Russia. The year before Canton incorporated, the
District of Maine separated from Massachusetts and was admitted to the Union as the 23rd
state. Missouri was admitted to the Union the next year.
Located at Lattitude 44° 26.4' North, Longitude 070°18.9' West, at an altitude of 561 feet above sea level, Canton has a 25 mile long border enclosing 30 square miles. |

From the first day of May to the first day of October, a person may not
operate a vehicle with tires having metal studs, wires, spikes or other
metal protruding from the tire tread.
Citing a lack of adequate public notification, the Chief of the Maine State Police has suspended a new regulation concerning studded snow tires. The rule, which was supposed to go into effect immediately, required front-wheel drive vehicles to have studded tires on all four wheels, not just the front. The new regulation will now go into effect next fall-presumably with more public notice. |
