Named after the city of the same name in England, Bath is a small town located outside of the bigger city of Portland, Maine. Bath is an old town, first having been explored by French explorer Samuel de Champlain in 1605, and a failed colony being established soon after. Allegedly the first ship built in the New World came from here and sailed back to England. Upon returning to the area, it was primarily settled by people from Bath, England, and so began the city’s long history with shipbuilding and maritime activities. Bath is known as “the city of ships”, but it is also known for its mix of 19th century-style architecture and summertime festivals, including their popular Fourth of July celebrations.
