Origin:
Following an influx of new settlers from Maine into Effingham, there was a conflict of culture and religion between them and people from the seacoast area who already populated Effingham. As a result, a section of that town known as North Effingham was separated into a town of its own. The newly incorporated town was appropriately named Freedom.

More about Freedom:
With its eastern boundary running along the Maine border, Freedom is a little town surrounding a small village, well off the beaten path. A town highlight is Lake Ossipee.
