About Maine...
The State of Maine is a state in New England region of the northeastern United States of America, bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the southeast, New Hampshire in the southwest, and the Canadian provinces of Quebec to the northwest and New Brunswick to the northeast. Maine is the northernmost part of New England is the easternmost point of the state in the United States. It is well known for its scenery - its jagged, mostly rocky coastline, its low, rolling hills, and its very forested interior - as well as for its cuisine with seafood, especially lobsters and clams.
The original inhabitants of the territory that is now Maine were Algonquian-speaking peoples. The first European settlement in Maine was in 1604 by the French party. The first English settlement in Maine, the short-lived Popham Colony, founded by the Plymouth Company in 1607. A series of English villages are along the coast of Maine in the 1620s, although the rugged climate, deprivations, and Indian attacks wiped many of them over the years. As Maine entered the 18th century, only a half-dozen settlements still survived. American and British forces contended for Maine's territory during the American Revolution and War of 1812. Maine was the exclave of Massachusetts until 1820, when, as a result of the growing population, it became the 23rd 15th State March under the Missouri Compromise.
