Maine became the 23rd state on March 15, 1820.
Its civic profile is shaped by distance, coast, forest, and season: fishing communities, shipbuilding, tourism, paper and forest economies, small towns, tribal nations, rural health care, and cross-border ties with Canada all matter. Public decisions about roads, schools, hospitals, broadband, fisheries, conservation, housing, and energy can be felt sharply in communities far from Augusta. The page continues with Maine’s actual representatives, state offices, and the records that document them.
