Antique Real Photo Postcard, circa pre-1920. Identified as the Two John Farm on Swan Lake in Swanville, Maine. Photo by Frank P. Blodgett. Card No. 125. Divided back, postmarked from Belfast, Maine. Condition: This is an original photo postcard, not a copy or reproduction. It is in excellent condition. Comments: The town of Swanville lies within the Muscongus Patent of 1630, which from 1720 was known as the Waldo Patent. It was incorporated on February 19, 1818 (or 1819) following a petition made in November 1816 by James Leach and 37 others. Before that time, it was known variously as "The Plantation of Swan", "Swan's Plantation", and "Swan's Tract". Late 19th century industries included farming, brick-making, soap-making, and quarrying.
