Woodland is a town in Aroostook County, Maine, United States. The population was 1,217 at the 2020 census. Because the state of Maine has a law stating that no two towns may share the same name, Woodland of Aroostook County and Woodland of Washington County found themselves before the Maine Supreme Judicial Court in the late 1990s. Because it was founded as a township first, Woodland of Aroostook County was allowed to keep its name and Woodland of Washington County was ordered by the court to choose a new name: Baileyville.
Among the first white settlements in Woodland was the Moir Farm, which was still active as of 2020.
