In the late 1840s, the Androscoggin and Kennebec Railroad passed through the town, and Readfield Corner developed into the commercial center. Here was established the Readfield Manufacturing Company, a woolen textile factory, as well as a window sash and window shutter factory. Mills were built using water power of the stream that flows from Torsey Pond into Maranacook Lake. Noted for its livestock and dairy farms, Readfield in 1856 became the site of the annual Kennebec County Fair. The population was 2,360 at the 2000 United States Census census.
