"Counts of Maine" refers to the historical divisions of the state of Maine into various administrative regions known as "counties." Maine has a total of 16 counties, each with its own local government and responsibilities. These counties play a significant role in the organization of state services, law enforcement, and public administration. The counties in Maine include Cumberland, York, Penobscot, and Kennebec, among others. Each county is further divided into towns and cities, which serve as the primary units of local governance. The counties help facilitate the delivery of services and resources to residents throughout the state.
