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

Peleg Wadsworth bought a tract of land here in 1790, and in 1792 or 1794 began clearing a farm for his eldest son.

The soil was sandy loam, yielding wheat and hay, the principal crop.

[6] The Saco River and ponds serving as reservoirs for tributary streams supplied water power for mills, and manufacturing timber became an important industry.

By 1886, the town had five sawmills and planing mills, producing short and long lumber, barrel staves and shooks.

Other products included men's clothing, harness and slate blackboards.

Described as "a pretty village amid charming scenery,"[7] Hiram was a junction where the Bridgton and Saco River Railroad met the Portland and Ogdensburg Railroad, which first opened service through the White Mountains on August 16, 1875.

It is bordered by the towns of Brownfield and Denmark to the north, Porter to the west, Sebago and Baldwin to the east, and Cornish and Parsonsfield to the south.
