Brooklin is a town in Hancock County, Maine, United States.

A few weeks later, the name was changed to Brooklin, after the brook line which separated it from Sedgwick.

Using pogie oil as a fertilizer, the difficult soil was made productive, and hay became the principal crop.

[3] By 1886, the town was noted for producing smoked herring in considerable quantities.

33.8% of all households were made up of individuals, and 14.6% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

An 11th-century Norse coin was (allegedly[8]) found in Brooklin at the site of an excavation of a Native American trading center.

If true this would be the only physical evidence of Nordic settlers having entered the area of what is now the United States.

If not an outright hoax, it is also possible that the coin was brought to the site not directly by Vikings, but rather through trading.
