About Poland
Poland is a town in Androscoggin County, Maine, United States. The population was 5,906 at the 2020 census. Élan School, a private 8–12 behavior modification boarding school that conducted acts of abuse and torture against the children who were its wards, was established in Poland in 1970 and remained open until 2011 in spite of countless instances of abuse and a conspiracy to cover up the criminal acts of various people who were involved, which included the police.
Set among rolling hills and numerous lakes, the town is home to Range Ponds State Park, which includes hiking trails and a pristine freshwater beach. Poland is also a historic resort area. It is included in the Lewiston-Auburn, Maine Metropolitan Statistical Area, which itself is part of the Greater Portland-Lewiston Combined Statistical Area.
