About Bristol, Maine
Bristol is a town of 2,834 people in Lincoln County, spread across the Pemaquid Peninsula where it reaches into the Gulf of Maine. The Wawenock Abenaki lived here first. English fishermen came only for the season until they set up a year-round fur trading post at Pemaquid Point as early as 1625. In 1631 the Plymouth Council granted the land as the Pemaquid Patent to two merchants of Bristol, England, Robert Aldsworth and Gyles Elbridge.
Pemaquid lay on the contested border of New England and French Acadia, so it came under attack many times. The pirate Dixie Bull plundered it in 1632. Indians burned it in 1676 during King Philip's War, and French forces from Castine destroyed the new Fort Charles and the village in 1689. Colonel David Dunbar rebuilt the fort as Fort Frederick in 1729 and 1730 and renamed the town Harrington. The fort held off two attacks in 1747 and was decommissioned in 1759. Bristol was incorporated on June 21, 1765, taking the name of the proprietors' home port in England.
“[the pirates] went after Capt. Carr's sloop, lying at Pemaquid, which they alsoe took a little distance from said Pemaquid, but finding the Mast and Bowspreat not serviceable [to repair the snow] they left her there, and brought the Master thereof aboard the Snow then at Menhagen [Monhegan]...”
- A stone fort of 1692After the English won back the region in 1692, Sir William Phipps built Fort William Henry of stone and named it for King William III. Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville came from Castine with French and Indian forces on August 14 and 15, 1696, and Captain Pascoe Chubb surrendered. Iberville killed three soldiers, sent ninety-two to Boston and destroyed the fort.
- Pemaquid Point LightJohn Quincy Adams commissioned a lighthouse at the tip of the peninsula in 1827. Salt water mixed into the mortar made it crumble, and a new tower replaced it in 1835. Its Fresnel lens went in during 1856, and the keeper's house of 1857 now holds the Fishermen's Museum. Keeper Marcus A. Hanna won the Medal of Honor and also the Gold Lifesaving Medal, the only man to hold both. Mainers later voted the light onto the state's quarter.
- A stone bridge before 1800Near the village of Bristol Mills, the Arch Bridge carries Benner Road over the Pemaquid River. Its stone arch was laid without mortar, probably before 1800, and it ranks among the oldest stone bridges in Maine. A similar arch on Upper Round Pond Road stood until it was replaced in 1984.
- Round Pond in 1853The Union Church, known locally as the Little Brown Church, was built in Round Pond in 1853. Maine has only a handful of Carpenter Gothic churches like it.
