Dixfield is a town in Oxford County, Maine, United States.

Dixfield is included in the Lewiston-Auburn, Maine metropolitan New England city and town area.

Dr. Elijeh Dix, a substantial landowner in the area, bought the town (and Dixmont) which bears his name.

In 1795, the first permanent settlers arrived with their families—John Marble, Gardner Brown, Amos Trask, Levi Newton, David Torrey and John Gould.

Dr. Elijah Dix of Boston, a substantial landowner in the area, promised to donate a library for the town if the citizens changed its name from Holmantown to Dixfield.

The citizens complied, after which the town received dusty old boxes of medical books printed in German.

With several streams for water power, Dixfield developed into a small mill town.

It also produced cheese, carriages, shingles, toothpicks, rakes, wooden boxes, flies and leaders, boots and shoes.

It rises from the brooks in Weld, through the wetlands in Carthage, to meet the Androscoggin at Dixfield Village.

23.7% of all households were made up of individuals, and 9.7% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
