Sebago is a town in Cumberland County, incorporated on February 10, 1826 from a portion of Baldwin. Over the years it annexed land from Baldwin (1827, 1837, 1871) and land to Naples (1834, 1845, 1849, 1852) and annexed land from Denmark (1830).

The name means great lake or big lake obviously referring to Sebago Lake that dominates the town of Sebago and the several towns surrounding the Lake.

Along with its substantial shoreline on the Lake, the town has its share of smaller ponds and a hiking trail to the summit of the 1392 foot Douglas Mountain and nature preserve that overlooks the Lake. This is a popular hike since it is relatively short and offers spectacular views of the White Mountains and the Sebago Lake area from atop the 1400' summit.

Maine Routes 11, 107 and 114 connect it with Baldwin and Standish to the south and Naples and Bridgton to the north.
