About Gorham, Maine
Gorham is a town of 18,336 people in Cumberland County, drained by the Little, Presumpscot and Stroudwater rivers. The Massachusetts General Court granted it as Narragansett Number 7, one of seven townships set aside for soldiers of the Narragansett War of 1675, or King Philip's War, and for their heirs. Captain John Phinney brought his family here in 1736, and Hugh McLellan and Daniel Mosher followed in 1738.
With no window glass, the first settlers built log houses and packed the gaps with moss and clay. John Gorham had the first sawmill running at Little River by 1743. The settlement, renamed Gorhamtown Plantation for the New England Ranger John Gorham I, was incorporated as Gorham in 1764. Its borders grew later, as pieces of Standish were added in 1831 and 1839 and a piece of Scarborough joined in 1864.
- Mills on the fallsGood soil served the farms, and the town's many falls powered its industry, with Portland close by as a market. Gorham's shops turned out carpet, textiles and clothing, barrels and lumber, and carriages, wagons and sleighs, and the town also had a tannery, a brickyard, a box factory, a corn cannery, a paper pulp mill and granite and marble works. Many of the old mills on the Presumpscot River now sit underwater, flooded when the Dundee Dam was built.
- From canal to railroadThe Cumberland and Oxford Canal opened in 1829, linking Casco Bay to Sebago Lake. John A. Poor's York and Cumberland Railroad reached Gorham in 1851 and left the canal so outdated that it closed in 1871. The line was torn up in 1961, and its grade is now a trail for walkers and riders. A second line, the Portland and Ogdensburg, ran its first train through White Rock on September 12, 1870; White Rock station closed in 1921.
- Gorham Academy, 1803Gorham Academy was founded in 1803 and taught both boys and girls. Samuel Elder built its Federal style Academy Building in 1806. Over time the school grew into Western Maine Normal School, then Gorham State Teachers College, and today it is the Gorham campus of the University of Southern Maine. The Academy Building joined the National Register in 1973.
- The Hall effect, 1879Edwin Hall was born in Gorham in 1855 and graduated from Bowdoin College in 1875. As a graduate student at Johns Hopkins, he found in 1879 that a magnetic field pushes a voltage sideways across a wire carrying current, at right angles to its flow. The discovery bears his name. He earned his doctorate in 1880 and became a professor at Harvard in 1895.
