Maine

By Bold Kids and William Johns

In millennia past, the people of Maine were inhabited by various Algonquian-speaking tribes, including the Androscoggin, the Kennebec, the Maliseet, the Passamaquoddy, and the Penobscot. In the 17th century, the British arrived to collect wood for Boston, but locals refused and attacked the ships with pitchforks. The British were eventually driven away and the Americans seized the ship and killed its commander. In the past, the state was the largest supplier of the blueberry. However, a recent report shows that shrimp catches in the state have decreased significantly, partly due to government limits. As an early American state, Maine is one of the oldest states in the country. The state is home to the oldest permanent European settlement in the world, the Vikings, and Native Americans. With its long history and a rich heritage, Maine has played a vital role throughout American history. In fact, Maine is now the 42nd-most populous state in the US. The state's capital, Augusta, was first chartered in 1641. Prior to this, it was called Agamenticus. Eventually, it was renamed to Gorgeana and finally to York. Insects are the state insect of Maine, and the mosquito lives along the coast. The state is home to four tornadoes a year, but climate change may cause them to become more frequent. Unlike most states, Maine is a relatively safe state for travelers. Whether you're looking for delicious seafood or exciting activities, you'll be captivated by the state's natural beauty. You'll never regret visiting this beautiful state.
