Woodland, Washington County, Maine

Woodland is a census-designated place (CDP) in Washington County, Maine, United States. The population was 1,044 at the 2000 census.

Woodland is actually a part of the town of Baileyville, Maine. 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 State Supreme Court in the late 1990s. Because it was founded as a township first, the smaller and arguably lesser known Woodland of Aroostook County was allowed to keep its name and Woodland of Washington County was forced to settle on a new name: "Baileyville."
