Norridgewock

Town in Somerset County, west-central Maine; population (1990) 3,100. Norridgewock is on the Kennebec River, 21 km/13 mi northwest of Waterville and immediately east of Skowhegan.

In the mid-17th century, the settlement was founded as a French Jesuit mission to the Indians, and built on the site of an Abnaki village on the Maine–Québec trade route. The town contains a monument to the cleric and linguist Sébastian Rasles, one of the victims of an assault on the mission by British forces in 1724.
