About Skowhegan, Maine
Skowhegan is a town of 8,620 people and the county seat of Somerset County, on the Kennebec River. Each year from spring to fall, Abenaki families fished at the falls here, spearing salmon in the pools below two waterfalls that dropped 28 feet in half a mile. They called the place Skowhegan, the "watching place" for fish. After colonial rangers raided the Norridgewock village upriver in 1724, the survivors left the region for Quebec.
European settlement began in the spring of 1771, when the Heywood and Weston families from Massachusetts landed on a river island of about nine acres. The fathers went home that summer and were delayed, so Eli Weston and Isaac Smith spent the winter by themselves on the island until the families came back in April 1772. The town was set off from Canaan on February 5, 1823, as Milburn, but residents preferred the old name, and it became Skowhegan in 1836. It annexed Bloomfield, across the river, in 1861 and became the county seat in 1871.
“At the end of the half-mile run, there were the high Skowhegan Falls on each side of a craggy island in midstream.”
- A state fair since 1819The Somerset Central Agricultural Society organized the Skowhegan Fair in 1818 and held the first one in 1819. It still comes to town every August, and no state fair in the United States has run longer without a break.
- Arnold's men at the fallsColonel Benedict Arnold's troops came through on September 29, 1775, on their way to attack Quebec. Their bateaux had to get past a whirlpool at the Great Eddy and a half mile of fierce current below the high falls. Joseph Weston, one of the first settlers, died of exposure after that passage.
- A mill town on the islandWater power from Skowhegan Falls made Skowhegan a mill town, with mills crowded onto Skowhegan Island between the river's north and south channels. The railroad arrived in 1856, and in the 19th century the town's factories turned out paper, flour, wool cloth, oil cloth, axes, scythes, harnesses and shoes.
- The strike of 1907Textile workers at the Marston Mills Company joined the Industrial Workers of the World and went on strike in 1907, saying they needed higher pay to truly live. The strike ended with every demand met, and forty-two workers who had lost their jobs over the union got them back.
- Fifty years at the tavernJosiah Locke, a general in the Revolutionary War, opened a tavern in 1811 where Main Street meets West Front Street. He kept it for 50 years and served as the town's postmaster for 49 of them.
