About Bucksport, Maine
Bucksport is a town of 4,944 people in Hancock County, where the Penobscot River meets the head of Penobscot Bay. The Massachusetts General Court granted this township to a group led by Deacon David Marsh of Haverhill, with 351 others. Colonel Jonathan Buck and several grantees surveyed the land in 1762. In June 1763 Buck returned to settle, and he built a sawmill on Mill Creek, plus a house and a store. The settlement, called Plantation No. 1, had 21 families by 1775.
The Revolution reached the plantation in 1779. On April 14 the British at Fort George in Castine defeated the American Penobscot Expedition. The next day the 16-gun sloop HMS Nautilus anchored in the harbor, which most settlers had abandoned, and its crew set the settlement on fire, sparing only those who swore loyalty to the Crown. After the peace of 1783 families came back and called the place Buckstown Plantation in honor of its founder. It was incorporated as Buckstown on June 27, 1792, and took the name Bucksport in 1817.
- Maine's first dig, 1891Some 5,000 years ago this shore was home to the Red Paint People, now called the Maritime Archaic. They were a fishing culture that placed red paint in their graves beside stone tools and weapons. Professor Charles Willoughby excavated at Indian Point in 1891, on the ground where the paper mill was later built, and it may have been the first archaeological dig in Maine or even the United States.
- A library from Buck's grandsonRichard Pike Buck, grandson of the founder, promised Bucksport a library, but he died before it was built. His wife and daughter carried out his promise, and the Buck Memorial Library opened in 1887. George A. Clough designed the small Gothic Revival building, which is built of rough granite from Blue Hill.
- A stop between Bangor and CastineThe Jed Prouty Tavern and Inn on Main Street began as a house around 1780. About 1820 it was enlarged into a 17-room hotel for people making the trip from Bangor to Castine. Daniel Webster stayed there, and so did two presidents, Martin Van Buren and William Henry Harrison.
- Winter shipping by rail, 1874Each winter the Penobscot River froze and cut Bangor off from the sea. The Bucksport and Bangor Railroad, finished in 1874, gave Bangor a winter route to Penobscot Bay through Bucksport. Its station on Main Street is one of the few rural stations left in Maine, and it now houses the Bucksport Historical Society's museum.
- The paper mill, 1930 to 2014In 1930 the Maine Seaboard Paper Company started up the Bucksport Mill, where two machines turned out 300 tons of newsprint a day. The mill changed hands several times. Time, Inc. came first, then St. Regis Paper Company, then Champion International and International Paper, and finally Verso Paper, and along the way it grew to 4 machines. Verso announced on October 1, 2014, that it would close the mill on December 1, and 570 workers lost their jobs.
