Cyrus Haskell was a farmer.
Sabattus is a town in Androscoggin county, settled in 1774 and incorporated on March 7, 1840 as the Town of Webster. During the 19th century, it swapped land with Lisbon and Lewiston, and annexed land from Wales and Greene.
In 1971 Webster, named for the famous statesman and orator Daniel Webster, became Sabattus as the name was changed. Sabattus was an Anasagunticook Indian chief killed in the area.
Located just east of Lewiston, most of the town's population appears on a map as an extension of that City, so closely are they located. That portion of the town at the south end of Sabattus Pond is part of the urban center. Just to the east, the landscape quickly changes to open space and farmland.
