Other sources, however, claim that Casco is derived from the Indian word "Ancocisco", interpreted variously as the Place of Herons, Rest mg Place, and Muddy Bay .

His tune changed when he got home. His door was smashed open. The lock lay useless on the floor. The lights were -. glaring. "It was quite a bunch of mixed emotions - shock and being violated. I was kind of in a daze," says Metevier of finding his home burglarized. He didn't sleep well that night.

  • Principal Fortifications of the United States (1870–1875)
    Principal Fortifications of the United States (1870–1875) uring the late 18th century and through much of the 19th century, army forts were constructed throughout the United States to defend the growing nation from a variety of threats, both perceived and real. Seventeen of these sites are depicted in a collection painted especially for Dthe U.S. Capitol by Seth Eastman. Born in 1808 in Brunswick, Maine, Eastman found expression for his artistic skills in a military career. After graduating from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where offi­ cers-in-training were taught basic drawing and drafting techniques, Eastman was posted to forts in Wisconsin and Minnesota before returning to West Point as assistant teacher of drawing. Eastman also established himself as an accomplished landscape painter, and between 1836 and 1840, 17 of his oils were exhibited at the National Academy of Design in New York City. His election as an honorary member of the academy in 1838 further enhanced his status as an artist. Transferred to posts in Florida, Minnesota, and Texas in the 1840s, Eastman became interested in the Native Americans of these regions and made numerous sketches of the people and their customs. This experience prepared him for his next five years in Washington, D.C., where he was assigned to the commissioner of Indian Affairs and illus­ trated Henry Rowe Schoolcraft’s important six-volume Historical and Statistical Information Respecting the History, Condition, and Prospects of the Indian Tribes of the United States. During this time Eastman also assisted Captain Montgomery C. Meigs, superintendent of the Capitol Brevet Brigadier General Seth Eastman.

  • Eastern Promenade
    Greater Portland Landmarks’ Walk Around the Block The Eastern Promenade Takes Shape: Turn-of-the-Century Development of Munjoy Hill April 9, 2018 Munjoy Hill Munjoy Hill rises 161 feet above Casco Bay on the eastern end of the Portland peninsula. The Hill’s namesake George Munjoy (c1626-1680) settled near present day Mountfort and Fore Streets in 1659. He fled Portland after an Indian attack in 1676 and never returned. Munjoy Hill was one of the last neighborhoods on the peninsula to be developed because its primary functions from the city’s founding in the 1630s until the 1840s were as an occasion- al gathering place and a pasture for cows. The Great Fire of July 4th and 5th, 1866 spread from Commercial Street to North Street. It destroyed 1,500 buildings and left over 10,000 people homeless. Following the Great Fire, the city’s need for housing drove development on Munjoy Hill. This development was large- ly middle-class homes, with a few high style residences in the Italianate and Second Empire Style. A few years earlier in 1863 the city’s horse drawn street car line had reached Munjoy Hill helping to make the hillside areas attractive for development after the fire. By the 1880s, Munjoy, Atlantic and St. Lawrence Streets were largely built out. These long streets extended between Fore to Congress. The Portland Railroad Co.’s street car line expanded its route on the hill from Congress Street, down Morning Street to the Eastern Prom. It then wended its way back to Congress Street along Beckett, Wilson, and Atlantic Streets.

Sediments taken from various locations throughout the Bay, and especially in Portland Harbor, held a wide variety of potentially toxic chemicals. Until we know more about how these heavy metals, pesticides and other compounds affect marine life, it’s hard to know what lasting impact the pollution in Casco Bay may have. But it was decided that the more we know about where those pollutants came from, the better chances we will have in preventing future problems. The Casco Bay Estuary Project (now Casco Bay Early industry was limited by natural energy sources, like this tidal mill at Estuary Partnership) commissioned environmental Stroudwater.

A new town was organized in 1718 named “Falmouth,” consisting of the peninsula of Falmouth Neck and considerable neighboring property.
