Description
View of City of Bangor, Penobscot County, Maine, 1875 / drawn by Augustus Koch.
First called Condeskeag Plantation, when Jacob Buswell founded the British-American settlement here in 1769, the region was the home of the Penobscot tribe. This colorful map depicts the city of Bangor, as it appeared one hundred years after treaty negotiations began that would remove the local Penobscot tribe from the area, reducing their lands to a small site on an island near Bangor.
At least nine ships were burned in Bangor on the Penobscot River in 1779 as the Penobscot Expedition ended disastrously for the rebels. The largest American naval expedition of the American Revolutionary War, the Penobscot Expedition was mounted to oust the newly established fort and battlements that the British had installed on the Bagaduce Peninsula. The British were well prepared and resisted the assault, calling in reinforcements that arrived in time to pursue the American ships, scuttling and burning the last of them at Bangor. The National Register of Historic Places lists the Penobscot River Bed at Bangor as an historic site because of the artifacts that have been found there and that are still laying at the bottom.
“The City of Bangor” was officially incorporated in 1834, fourteen years after Maine became a state. The citizens of Bangor played an important role during the civil war, with a chapter of the American Anti-Slavery Society that had over a hundred members in 1837.
The region was known for its sawmills and supplied both Boston and New York with lumber throughout the 19th Century. Several sawmills are referenced on the map.
