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

The following information derives from George J. Varney's A Gazetteer of the State of Maine, published in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1886: Surry is situated on the west bank of Union River Bay, in Hancock County.

On the north-east it is bounded by Ellsworth, on the south-west, by Blue Hill, on the west, by Orland and Penobscot.

The majority of the surface soil is so intermingled with comminuted quartz, or siliceous sand, that cranberries grow in the grass fields.

A large deposit of nearly pure silica in the town may prove of much value for glass and other ware.

A few years ago, a bleak profusion of granite boulders lay over miles of surface on the Toddy Pond road.

On every hand they are smitten with decay, and here and there a patch of unworn gravel is all that remains of a once great boulder.

The manufactories of Surry are a lumber, shingle, spool and two stave mills.

The next settlers were John Patten, a Mr. Hopkinson, Andrew Flood, Wilbrahim Swett, Matthew and James Ray, Samuel Joy, Isaac Lord, Hezekiah Coggins and Leonard Jarvis.

Up to 1820, about 13,000 acres (53 km2) had been secured to settlers and by quiet possession titles, when Mr. Jarvis bought the remainder.

The NWS station, named Ellsworth-3SSW, serves as an official meteorological recording site, providing daily weather and climate information to the (NWS) National Weather Service, (NCDC) National Climatic Data Center, CoCoRaHS (Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network), and CWOP (Citizens Weather Observer Program).

The cooperative station is located at an elevation of 105 feet, approximately two miles east of Surry village.

The NWS in Caribou renamed the station East Surry on July 1, 2011.

The new data set begins on June 1, 2007, from the East Surry location.
