The population was 1,102 at the 2000 census. The town includes the village of Sargentville. The countryside around Sedgwick is a haven for birdwatchers, as well as an out-of-the-way tourist stop with several bed and breakfast locations. It was one of six contiguous townships, each 6 miles square, granted by Massachusetts in 1761 to David Marsh and 359 others. Called by its Abenaki name Naskeag, meaning the end or extremity, it was first permanently settled in 1759 by Andrew Black. In 1789, the town was incorporated as Sedgwick, named after Major Robert Sedgwick, who in 1654 captured nearby Fort Pentagouet (now Castine) from the French. In 1817, land was taken to form Brooksville, with more taken in 1849 to form Brooklin. By 1859, the population was 1,235.
