About Unity
Unity is a town in Waldo County, Maine, United States. The population was 2,292 at the 2020 census. It contains the census-designated place of the same name. The town is the service center for the northern portion of Waldo County. Outside of Waldo County, it is best known as the home of the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association, its Common Ground Country Fair and former home of Unity College.
Unity College was founded in 1965 to offset the economic effects of the declining chicken farming industry. As of 2007, the college was the town's largest employer. In 2020, the college announced a significant shift in its educational model, moving to a hybrid learning system that led to a reduction in staff by 15%. As of 2024, the original Unity campus is largely vacant, with only about 50 students using the facilities at any given time.
