The Story Behind Every Town Name in Maine
Author: John McDonald, Marion Fearing,Publisher: Islandport Press
From Fryeburg to Frenchboro, Caribou to Kittery, Portland to Passadumkeag, Maine towns often have fascinating stories about why and how they got their names. Why did a local reverend disregard the will of residents and choose the name Bangor instead of Sunbury? What town was named after a random place in Italy? What town was named after a famous nineteenth-century British poet? What’s in a Name? reveals all and describes how every town, city, and plantation in Maine got its name and includes some stories and tidbits for good measure. What’s in a Name? delivers wonderful insight, fun facts, and some little-known history about the Pine Tree State
