About Maine:


The original inhabitants of the territory that is now Maine were Algonquian-speaking Wabanaki peoples including the Abenaki, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscots.


The first European settlement in Maine was in 1604 by a French party that included Samuel de Champlain, the noted explorer.


The French named the entire area, including the portion that later became the State of Maine, Acadia.


The first English settlement in Maine was established by the Plymouth Company at Popham in 1607, the same year as the settlement at Jamestown, Virginia. Both colonies were predated by the Roanoke Colony by 22 years.
