«John Cabot and his son, Sebastian, are believed to have
visited the Maine coast in 1498. However, the first permanent
English settlements were not established until more than a
century later, in 1623.
The first naval action of the Revolutionary War occurred in 1775
when colonials captured the British sloop Margaretta off Machias
on the Maine coast. In that same year, the British burned Falmouth
(now Portland).
Long governed by Massachusetts, Maine became the 23rd state as
part of the Missouri Compromise in 1820»
