Description
Buxton is a town located along the eastern side of the Saco River in northern York County. Its history is closely tied to the river, which played a significant role in the establishment and development of the area.
The early settlers of Buxton moved up the Saco River from nearby towns and settled on its banks at Salmon Falls. The town's inhabitants relied heavily on the river for power, using it to fuel their mills and other local industries. This arrangement allowed them to establish thriving villages near these mills, including those in Salmon Falls, Union Falls, Bar Mills, West Buxton, and Bonny Eagle.
Postcards from the late 19th century provide a unique glimpse into life in Buxton during its industrial heyday. Featuring images of riverside villages and inland centers such as Groveville and Buxton Center, these postcards offer valuable insight into the daily lives of the town's residents.
