The population was 1,168 at the 2010 census. Rangeley is the center of the Rangeley Lakes Region, a resort area. The town includes the villages of Oquossoc, Haines Landing and South Rangeley. HistoryIt is named after an Englishman, Squire James Rangeley, who inherited a {{convert|31000|acre|km2|adj=on}} tract bought from Massachusetts in 1796 by his father. He arrived in 1825 to establish an estate based on the English system of landlord and tenants, also giving extensive land to settlers. He built a sawmill, a gristmill, a two-story mansion, and a ten-mile (16 km) road to connect his property with the rest of the world.[2] Rangeley resided here for 15 years, then sold the property and moved to Portland.[3] Farms produced hay, wheat, oats, barley and potatoes, with cattle grazing the hills. Logging became a principal industry, with booms of logs towed by steamboat across the Rangeley lakes, then guided down rivers in log drives. On March 29, 1855, the town of Rangeley was set off and incorporated from a portion of Rangeley Plantation. By 1870, the population was 313. In 1886, it had twenty dwellings, two hotels, two stores and a post office. Industries included a carriage shop, two blacksmith shops, a boat builder's shop, a sawmill and a shoe shop.[4] The Phillips and Rangeley Railroad, a narrow gauge common carrier, opened in 1891, becoming part of the Sandy River and Rangeley Lakes Railroad in 1908. Timber and other goods were shipped to markets, and tourists arrived from Boston; Hartford; New York City; and Philadelphia. Consequently, the region developed in the 1900s into a seasonal resort area with camps, cabins, summer homes, inns and hotels. The cool mountain climate and abundance of sport fishing made this a highly desirable and exclusive resort destination. Some inhabitants became fishing guides, and among the anglers was President Herbert Hoover. The big hotels would decline, however, with the end of the railroad and invention of the automobile and proliferation of roads leading to vacationers building personal camps. In 1958, The Rangeley Lake House was razed. But smaller motels and camp rentals have taken their place, and Rangeley remains a popular resort.[5] GeographyAccording to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of {{convert|55.62|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, of which {{convert|41.48|sqmi|sqkm|2}} is land and {{convert|14.14|sqmi|sqkm|2}} is water.[6] Centrally located between the headwaters of both the Androscoggin River and Kennebec River, the town lies on the eastern shores of Rangeley Lake in the Western Maine Mountains. Smalls Falls, lying just south of the town on Route 4, is a popular tourist destination. A sign in town notes that Rangeley is halfway between the Equator and North Pole. ClimateThis climatic region has large seasonal temperature differences, with warm (and often humid) summers and cold (sometimes severely cold) winters. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Rangeley has a humid continental climate, abbreviated "Dfb" on climate maps.[7] Similar to the rest of New England, snowfall is high in Rangeley, but due to the cold mean temperatures in winter with lows only narrowly above freezing it remains on the ground for several months. {{Weather box|location = Rangeley, Maine |single line = Yes | Jan record high F = 55 | Feb record high F = 58 | Mar record high F = 74 | Apr record high F = 83 | May record high F = 90 | Jun record high F = 90 | Jul record high F = 90 | Aug record high F = 89 | Sep record high F = 91 | Oct record high F = 77 | Nov record high F = 66 | Dec record high F = 59 |Jan high F = 21.7 |Feb high F = 24.8 |Mar high F = 34.0 |Apr high F = 47.0 |May high F = 62.3 |Jun high F = 69.5 |Jul high F = 74.5 |Aug high F = 73.2 |Sep high F = 66.4 |Oct high F = 51.8 |Nov high F = 40.0 |Dec high F = 28.4 |year high F = 49.4 |Jan low F = 2.3 |Feb low F = 3.6 |Mar low F = 12.3 |Apr low F = 25.7 |May low F = 38.4 |Jun low F = 47.5 |Jul low F = 52.5 |Aug low F = 50.3 |Sep low F = 43.6 |Oct low F = 33.0 |Nov low F = 23.5 |Dec low F = 11.7 |year low F = 27 | Jan record low F = -28 | Feb record low F = -23 | Mar record low F = -21 | Apr record low F = 4 | May record low F = 21 | Jun record low F = 27 | Jul record low F = 35 | Aug record low F = 31 | Sep record low F = 21 | Oct record low F = 13 | Nov record low F = -1 | Dec record low F = -21 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation inch = 2.26 |Feb precipitation inch = 1.95 |Mar precipitation inch = 2.72 |Apr precipitation inch = 2.97 |May precipitation inch = 3.45 |Jun precipitation inch = 4.76 |Jul precipitation inch = 4.25 |Aug precipitation inch = 3.79 |Sep precipitation inch = 3.88 |Oct precipitation inch = 4.27 |Nov precipitation inch = 3.03 |Dec precipitation inch = 3.24 |year precipitation inch = 40.52 |Jan snow inch = 23.5 |Feb snow inch = 23.7 |Mar snow inch = 21.5 |Apr snow inch = 7.6 |May snow inch = 0.3 |Jun snow inch = 0.0 |Jul snow inch = 0.0 |Aug snow inch = 0.0 |Sep snow inch = 0.0 |Oct snow inch = 3.0 |Nov snow inch = 8.5 |Dec snow inch = 27.0 |year snow inch=121.6 |source 1 =[8] |date=August 2016 }} Demographics{{US Census population|1870= 45 |1880= 64 |1890= 58 |1900= 98 |1910= 190 |1920= 159 |1930= 79 |1940= 63 |1950= 44 |1960= 39 |1970= 52 |1980= 69 |1990= 103 |2000= 123 |2010= 1168 |estyear=2014 |estimate=1162 |estref=[9] |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[10] }}{{US Census population |1860= 238 |1870= 313 |1880= 563 |1890= 616 |1900= 961 |1910= 1154 |1920= 1028 |1930= 1472 |1940= 1464 |1950= 1228 |1960= 1087 |1970= 941 |1980= 1023 |1990= 1063 |2000= 1052 |2010= 189 |estyear=2014 |estimate=185 |estref=[11] |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[12] }} 2010 censusAs of the census[13] of 2010, there were 1,168 people, 575 households, and 338 families residing in the town.
