Approximately 10,000 years ago, a glacier covered the area to a depth of several thousand feet, carving irregular landforms that survive today.

The earliest artifact of European origin was fragments of a 1650–1660 clay pipe, probably a trade good with the native population.

First settled in 1770 by Nathan Knight, the town was incorporated in 1802 from Canaan and Ducktrap plantations.

[4] It was named for General Benjamin Lincoln, a Revolutionary War General—second-in-command to George Washington at Yorktown—and friend of Henry Knox.
