-'''Unorganized territory.&nbsp;''' In Maine a '''township''' is an unorganized territory roughly the size of a town, but usually with a relatively smaller population. Populated coastal islands outside municipal borders are also usually included in the list of townships.

 '''Fewer records.&nbsp;''' No town meetings are held, and no town meeting minutes are kept in townships. It would be unusual for a township to have its own record-keeping official. The township's county registrar of deeds should have the township's land records. Nearby towns in the county also '''''may&nbsp;''''' keep a few historical facts about people who live in neighboring townships.
