About Cape Elizabeth, Maine
Cape Elizabeth is a town of 9,535 people in Cumberland County, on the cape at the southern entrance to Portland Harbor. Spanish explorers charted this coast in 1525 and called it Cabo de Arrecife, and the Englishman Bartholomew Gosnold reached it on May 14, 1602. When John Smith brought his 1615 map to King Charles I for approval, the king named the cape for his sister, Elizabeth of Bohemia.
Walter Bagnall opened a trading post on Richmond Island in 1628, trading rum for beaver pelts. He cheated the Wabanaki, who killed him and burned the post in October 1631, and new owners built the island into a fishing and trading station with 60 men by 1638. Attacks during the colonial wars destroyed the settlement in 1703, and people did not return until about 1719. On November 1, 1765, Cape Elizabeth broke away from Falmouth as Maine's 23rd incorporated town. In 1895 its busy northern half left to become South Portland, while the rural south kept the old name.
- First lit in 1791George Washington set Portland Head Light in motion in 1787. Falmouth masons Jonathan Bryant and John Nichols raised its rubblestone tower from stone gathered in nearby fields and along the shore, as Washington had told them to. The lamp was lit on January 10, 1791, and no lighthouse in Maine is older. In 1927 Edward Hopper made it the subject of a painting.
- A rescue in the riggingThe Cape Elizabeth Light station opened in 1828 with two stone towers 300 yards apart, which is why the area is called Two Lights. During a snowstorm in January 1885, the schooner Australia ran aground on the ledge with two sailors stuck in its frozen rigging. Keeper Marcus A. Hanna kept throwing them a line, and with his assistant and two neighbors he pulled both men to safety. Only the eastern tower still shines.
- From fort to parkIn 1872 the Army started construction of a coast artillery post at Portland Head Light to guard the southern entrance to the harbor. It was named Fort Williams in 1899 for Major General Seth Williams of the Civil War, and it stayed active until 1962. The town then bought the grounds for about $200,000, and today Fort Williams Park contains the lighthouse and its museum, plus the remains of the fort and the Goddard Mansion.
- The oldest public buildingThe Spurwink Congregational Church went up in 1802 on a rise above the Spurwink River, where Spurwink Avenue meets Bowery Beach Road, and it was renovated in 1830. The town has owned it since 1957 and uses it for community gatherings.
- Beach to Beacon since 1998Joan Benoit Samuelson, born in Cape Elizabeth, took the first women's Olympic marathon in 1984. In 1998 she started the Beach to Beacon 10K, an August race that starts at Crescent Beach State Park and finishes at Portland Head Light, bringing some of the world's top distance runners to her hometown.
