| Incorporated: 1836 |
| Origin: Errol was named for James Hay of Scotland, fifteenth Earl of Erroll, and owner of Linlithgow Castle, the birthplace of Mary, Queen of Scots, and King James V. The town was among the last chartered by the Wentworth governors, and many of those named in the charter were fellow Harvard graduates to John Wentworth. Though first chartered in 1774, Errol was not incorporated until 1836. Sitting on the northern end of Maine border, this sparsely populated town is a popular vacation site for snowmobilers. Errol includes half of Umbagog Lake, and has more inland water area than any town in Coos County. |
