any connection to the country named Poland in Europe?

just asking! 79.210.184.90 (talk) 09:42, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My junior high school history teacher, who had started teaching at the age of 15 in one of rural Maine's 19th century one room schoolhouses, suggested the name was a corruption of Polin, chief of the local Rockameecook band of native Americans. In 1765 the Massachusetts General Court granted land which later became the town to colonial settlers who had fought in the French and Indian war battles where Polin was killed in 1756. Another local story suggested the town was named for a musical piece with a similar title. There was no mention of a connection to the European country, although the spelling chosen by the few literate persons of early Maine was probably selected in conformance with their knowledge of Europe.
