Date: July 12th, 2025 9:13 PM Author: Concupiscible love of her life Logging in Maine began in the early 1600s when English explorers first cut trees on Monhegan Island. By 1634, the first water-powered sawmill was built in South Berwick, marking the start of a booming industry. Fast forward to 1832, and Bangor had become the largest shipping port for lumber in the world. At its peak, as many as 3,000 ships were anchored in Bangor, creating a bustling scene where one could almost walk across ship decks to Brewer. Between 1832 and 1888, an astounding 8,737,628,202 board feet of lumber were shipped from Bangor. The Rise of Patten
During this period, the town of Patten, located 100 miles north of Bangor, emerged as a significant center for logging operations. Each spring, logs harvested in the Patten area during the preceding winter were floated down the Penobscot River in massive drives to the mills in Bangor. This process exemplified the ingenuity and hard work that characterized Maine’s lumbering industry.
