I recall that in the early to mid-80's Bear Island went through quite a deliberate exercise to see how/whether they could secede from Meredith. Even hired a retires NH Supreme Court Justice to advise them, I believe. Conclusion: Not possible.

Someone with more knoweldge of the history (East Bear Island Association?) might be able to give the legal details.
