Sanford is a town in York County, incorporated on February 27, 1768 from the Phillipstown Tract.

The town is a hub of several Maine Routes: 4A, 11, 11A, 109, and 224 in addition to U.S. Route 202.

Traditionally an industrial town, primarily textiles, it has diversified and continues to be a growing community, the eighth largest in Maine by population according to the 2000 Census, up from a ranking of ninth in 1990.

Sanford is proud of it's economic development and has a lot to offer for new businesses.
