Pittston

Pittston is a town in Kennebec County, incorporated on February 4, 1779 from Gardinerstown Plantation. It set off land to form Gardiner 1803 and West Pittston, now Randolph, in 1887.

The Reuben Colburn House in Pittston, Maine is the site of one of the original settlements in Maine. The Colburn House, built in 1765, was one of the first on the east side of the Kennebec River in an area later known locally as Colburntown. The house and carriage house is now owned by the Arnold Expedition Society.

Situated south of Randolph on Maine Route 27 and the Kennebec River, the town was once a center of ice harvesting before refrigeration ended the trade. Several fine homes overlook the river from a hill on the south side of Route 27.
