31 Brief Introduction to Camden, Maine

In the winter, Camden is a sleepy town of less than 5,000 people located midway along Maine’s Atlantic Coast. During the other three seasons, it is a beautiful attraction for tourists. The first European to arrive at this picturesque harbor was James Richards in 1769. During the 1800s, the village grew thanks to thriving sawmills, blacksmith shops, lime quarries and a half dozen shipyards. After the Great Fire in 1892, this seaside community was rebuilt encircling the harbor with charm. The historic center is on Main and Bay View Streets. While exploring Camden on foot, you will quickly discover why it deserves the nickname, “The Jewel of the Maine Coast.”
