Shirley Historical Society
Shirley lies south of Moosehead Lake and was part of the Bingham purchase. The East Branch of the Piscataquis River begins in the township north of this, within four miles of Moosehead Lake, and flows southward through Shirley. In the northwest part of Shirley, the Shirley Bog flows south joining with the east branch in Blanchard. In the past, these streams were used to float logs which grew upon its bank.
This township was purchased by Messrs Shaw and Jabez True in the winter of 1829. Soon families moved in, sawmills were built, a clapboard machine was in operation, a Post Office established, a grist mill, and schoolhouses were built.
In March of 1834 the town was incorporated as the Town of Shirley.
