Additional Information
The largest state in the Northeastern United States, Maine has long been celebrated for its beautiful scenery and became a predominant vacation destination throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Residents of nearby urban enclaves, including New York City, flocked to Maine during the warm summer months, seeking its bucolic, rural lifestyle. Maine is also the northernmost state in the lower forty-eight and boasts the most coastline of any contiguous U.S. state. Its rich nautical heritage and maritime traditions have profoundly shaped the local culture, especially in cities like Portland, Maine's most populous city, which has recently become a popular tourist destination known for its vibrant cuisine and classic architecture.
The first European settlement in Maine was established in 1604, and the state's history bears distinct cultural influences from French and English colonists, who brought their traditions and heritage to the region. During the War of 1812, British forces occupied many parts of eastern Maine but were removed after the peace treaty restored pre-war boundaries. Maine remained part of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts until 1820, when residents voted to secede, making it the twenty-third state admitted to the Union.
This 1977 map bears a classic aesthetic and unique style that immediately transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond between the past and present while showcasing Maine's growth and evolution throughout its rich history.
