Westport ME Community Profile & History
Westport, Maine is an island town in Lincoln County, Maine. The narrow ten-mile island, once known as Jerimisquam, was sold by the sagamore Robinhood to John Richards in 1649, though no permanent claim was then established. In 1734 George Davie purchased the island from three Indians of the Abnaki tribe, which was later agreed to by the chief, Robinhood, after whom a cove in Georgetown has been named. Indian wars soon wiped out all the settlements in this region. It was not until after 1750 that the permanent settlers began to arrive in Westport. The present-day town of Westport was incorporated from the western portion of Edgecomb in 1828. Early industries included ice shipping, commercial steamboats, fishing and farming. Westport benefited greatly from its coastal location, and trade relations were established with many southern ports along the Atlantic Coast and in the West Indies. In recent decades, Westport has emerged as one of the fastest-growing communities in the state; the town's population more than tripled between 1970 and 2000. An idyllic coastal locale, accesibility to major cities and great potential for future economic growth bode well for Westoport's rising fortunes in the near future.
