The land was first settled in 1736 by Captain John Phinney and his family, followed in 1738 by Hugh McLellan and Daniel Mosher. It would annex land from Standish, Maine in 1831 and 1839, and from Scarborough, Maine in 1864. Products included textiles, clothing, carpet, lumber, barrels, chairs, carriages, wagons and sleighs. Its residents and town officials have been confronted with various issues related to managing suburban growth in a historically rural town. In 1803, Gorham Academy was founded.
