Sagadahoc County is a county located in the U.S. state of Maine. Established in 1854, it covers an area of 370 square miles and includes 10 towns and 4 unorganized territories. The county seat is the city of Bath. The name Sagadahoc is derived from an Abenaki word that translates to "mouth of big river," referring to the Kennebec River which flows through the county.
Before the arrival of European settlers in the region, the Abenaki Native American tribe inhabited the area. The first European explorers arrived in the early 1600s, with the Popham Colony established by English settlers in 1607 at the mouth of the Kennebec River. However, this colony was short-lived and was abandoned by settlers after just one year. In the years that followed, the region saw sporadic settlement as well as conflicts between the French, English, and Native American tribes.
In the 18th century, the area became a hub for shipbuilding and maritime trade, and the city of Bath quickly emerged as a major shipbuilding center. The success of shipbuilding in the region led to significant population growth, prompting the eventual formation of Sagadahoc County on April 4, 1854, from portions of Lincoln and Cumberland Counties. Today, Sagadahoc County remains a largely rural area, with forestry and agriculture as important industries, in addition to tourism along the Kennebec River and the Atlantic coastline.
A fun fact about Sagadahoc County is that Popham Beach State Park, located in the county, is home to the Popham Beach sand sculpture contest, which attracts visitors and artists annually to compete and create unique sand creations.
