direct access to I-95, I-495 and Route 201, and our central location with access to 75% of
Maine's year-round population within a 50-mile radius give Gardiner a clear advantage.

Bangors most famous resident is the legendary Stephen King. However, just because the king of Thrill literature resides here doesnt mean Bangor is a scary place to visit. In fact,
the opposite is quite true. Ironically though Mt. Hope Cemetery located in Bangor claims to be the oldest garden cemetery in the nation. Nevertheless, Bangor offers quite a bit for any traveler.
It is well known for its many churches and beautiful Victorian homes. Be entertained by the performing arts that thrive here or enjoy the annual State Fair held in July.
Another commanding presence is the impressive Paul Bunyan statue. Standing at over 30 feet Mr. Bunyans roots run deep in Bangor. See, its not that scary at all.
Ellsworth is a city in and the county seat of Hancock County, Maine, United States. The 2010 Census determined it had a population of 7,741. Ellsworth was Maine's fastest growing city from 2000-2010 with a growth rate of nearly 20 percent. With many historic buildings and points of interest, Ellsworth is busy from May until September with visitors from all over the United States and Canada. In addition, the city is the gateway for tourists visiting nearby Acadia National Park, Mount Desert Island and the Bar Harbor region.According to the history of the Passamaquoddy Indians, the Ellsworth area was originally inhabited by members of the Passamaquoddy and Penobscot tribes: "Both groups speak closely related Algonquian languages, although anthropologists generally group the Passamaquoddies linguistically with the Maliseets and the Penobscots with the Abenakis." Since the late 1830s, some have speculated that that Norse and other sailors explored the Maine coast before the voyages of Columbus, and may have settled there. However, no credible historical or archaeological evidence has been discovered for this once-popular fantasy. The earliest recorded European settlers in the general area were the French, in the early 17th century..

The area was first explored by members of the ill-fated Popham Colony in September 1607. It was first inhabited by English settlers from the Plymouth Colony in 1629 as a trading post on the Kennebec River. The settlement was known by its Indian name—Cushnoc (or Coussinoc or Koussinoc), meaning "head of tideFur trading was at first profitable, but with Indian uprisings and declining revenues, the Plymouth Colony sold the Kennebec Patent in 1661. Cushnoc would remain empty for the next 75 years. A hotbed of Abenaki hostility toward British settlements was located further up the Kennebec at Norridgewock. In 1722, the tribe and its allies attacked Fort Richmond (now Richmond) and destroyed Brunswick. In response, Norridgewock was sacked in 1724 during Dummer's War, when English forces gained tentative control of the Kennebec In 1754, a blockhouse named Fort Western ]
(now the oldest wooden fort in America), was built at Cushnoc on the eastern bank. It was intended as a supply depot for Fort Halifax upriver, as well as to protect its own region.
In 1775, Benedict Arnold and his 1,100 troops would use Fort Western as a staging area before continuing their journey up the Kennebec to the Battle of Quebec.
