Maine Quick Facts
Maine – The Pine Tree State
The Maine coast may have been explored by Leif Ericson and a crew of Vikings 500 years before the “discovery” of America by Columbus. The first settlement was in 1607, the same year as the Jamestown Colony in Virginia. Unfortunately, the settlement didn’t make it through Maine’s harsh winter.
English settlements were set up along the coast 20 years later, but again they struggled to survive. The area was sparsely populated when Massachusetts bought the land. Maine was a part of that state until 1820 when it became the 23rd state.
An interesting bit of Maine history involves the temperance movement. It became a dominant force in state politics for more than 100 years. When the Total Abstinence Society was created in 1815, it was the world’s first organization against the use of alcoholic drink. By the mid-1800s, a group of temperance societies had pushed through laws banning the making and sale of alcohol except for medical purposes.
Today, Maine is widely recognized for its rugged beauty. It has 5,500 miles of coastline. It has more than a half million acres of state and national parks. It is enormous – as large as the five other New England states combined. Yet, Maine is the most sparsely populated state east of the Mississippi River.

Cities of Maine by Population
1. Refinancing or taking out a home equity loan or line of credit may increase the total number of monthly payments and/or the total amount paid when compared to your current situation.
2. The relative benefits of a consolidation loan may vary over time and will depend on individual circumstances. The longer the property and loan at a new lower rate and term is kept, the more interest savings can be realized when compared to your current situation. The repayment period of a mortgage loan can generally be shortened when additional funds above scheduled monthly mortgage payments are consistently paid and applied to reduce the loan balance.
