Here is a brief introduction to the state of Maine.

Population over 1.3 million residents

State’s Flag: The Maine state flag, adopted in 1909, displays the state seal. On it, a sailor symbolizes commerce and fishing, and a farmer represents agriculture. A pine tree, a moose, and the North Star are also pictured.

The first light of dawn in the United States shines on the summit of Cadillac Mountain, at 1,530 feet the highest point on North America’s eastern coastline and the pinnacle of Maine’s Acadia National Park. The state in which the nation’s day begins is a place of primal beauty, famous for its rockbound coast where Atlantic breakers meet granite headlands, pine forests that glint with the silver of rivers, and for loggers and lobstermen who live their lives in the shadow of their own romantic legends.

Although the coastline was likely explored by Norsemen 1,000 years ago, the documented history of European settlement in Maine begins in the early 17^th century, when British and French explorers-among them the peripatetic Samuel de Champlain-tried to secure beachheads along the shore.

 The first permanent English settlement was established in 1623, but Britain’s dominion over northernmost New England was not immediately assured. French Canada and its allies among the region’s indigenous Algonquin tribes continued to harass English enclaves in Maine until the conclusion of the French and Indian War in 1763. Within little more than a decade, Maine was at war once again, and throughout the American Revolution, Britain held much of the colony’s coastline. During the War of 1812, Maine’s coastal communities again fell victim to British naval attacks. But a later revolution would be more peaceful. Since 1691 Maine had been part of Massachusetts, even though the two were separated by New Hampshire. By the end of the War of 1812, however, a growing number of people had become increasingly dissatisfied with being governed by distant Boston. This conflict was quietly resolved in 1820 with Maine’s admission to the Union as the 23^rd state.

In 1842 Maine-Canada border dispute is resolved. In 1851 First U.S. law forbidding sale of liquor is passed by Maine. In 1948 Maine representative Margaret Chase Smith becomes first woman to serve in both houses of Congress. In 1980 U.S. government pays $81.5 million to Passamaquoddy and Penobscot Indians for land taken around 1800. In 1988 Waterville native Senator George Mitchell is named the U.S. Senate Majority leader. In 1997 Bangor native Senator William Cohen is sworn in as President Clinton’s Secretary of Defense.
