Woodland is a town located in Aroostook County, Maine, in the United States. In 2020, about 1,217 people lived there.
Maine has a rule that no two towns can have the exact same name. Because of this, Woodland in Aroostook County and another town called Woodland in Washington County had a legal disagreement in the late 1990s. The case went to the Maine Supreme Judicial Court. Since Woodland in Aroostook County was established first, it was allowed to keep its name. The other Woodland in Washington County had to change its name to Baileyville.
One of the first European settlements in Woodland was the Moir Farm. This farm was still active in 2020.
