About Bangor, Maine
Bangor is a city of 31,753 people and the seat of Penobscot County, built where the Penobscot River's rapids give way to the tide. The Penobscot people have lived in this area for at least 11,000 years. Jacob Buswell started a settlement here in 1769, and three years later twelve families had a sawmill, a store and a school. The population reached 567 by 1787. The settlement went by Sunbury or Kenduskeag Plantation until 1791, when it took the name Bangor, said to come from a Welsh hymn tune. It became a city in 1834.
Logging made Bangor rich. Each winter, horse teams dragged logs from the North Woods to the river, and the spring melt carried them down to water-powered sawmills just upstream of the city. From Bangor's docks the lumber sailed for the Caribbean, California and cities along the East Coast. By 1860 the city was the largest lumber port in the world, with 150 sawmills on the river and 3,300 lumber ships at its docks that year. The lumber barons spent their money on grand Greek Revival and Victorian houses, and the city became known as the Queen City of the East.
- Warships under the riverWhen the American Penobscot Expedition failed in 1779, ten naval vessels escaped up the river and were sunk near Bangor so the British couldn't capture them. The wrecks lay untouched until work on the Joshua Chamberlain Bridge in the late 1950s uncovered them. Six cannons came up from the riverbed, and five are on display in the region.
- A hotel to match Boston'sIn 1833 and 1834, Bangor businessmen built the Bangor House at Main and Union streets, wanting a hotel as fine as the Tremont House in Boston. Isaiah Rogers designed it, and it is the last of his "Palace Hotels" still standing. Today its rooms are apartments.
- Hannibal Hamlin's resting placeMount Hope Cemetery was laid out on State Street in 1834 by Charles G. Bryant, who modeled it on Boston's Mount Auburn. Hannibal Hamlin, Abraham Lincoln's first vice president, lies there with four Maine governors, eight Civil War generals and many lumber barons. The Bangor Public Library keeps the couch where Hamlin died in 1891.
- The Great Fire of 1911Fires hit downtown in 1856, 1869 and 1872, but the Great Fire of 1911 was the worst. It burned across 55 acres and took the high school, the post office, the public library, banks, two fire stations, six churches, a synagogue, nearly 100 businesses and 285 homes.
- Rebuilt after the fireAfter the 1911 fire, Bangor rebuilt its downtown in a mix of styles from Mansard to Beaux-Arts. Peabody and Stearns designed the new public library, which gained a wing in 1997 with help from Stephen and Tabitha King.
