Brief Description: Sullivan is a town in Hancock County and was originally called "Adowaukeag" or "Waukeag" by native Penobscot and Maliseet tribes. The name "Waukeag" indicates "a horseback in a place where the tide runs out very strong." This refers to the tidal stream from Sullivan Harbor that specifically fills Falls Point where the glacial kame crosses the river. Survey shows divisions of land lots in particular the Simpson family which had several members who were surveyors. The plan also indicates the property of Paul Urann who built the earliest frame house in Sullivan. Urann was active in the lumber business.
