Description
View of South Berwick, York County, Maine, 1877, Published by Ruger & Stoner.
Incorporated as South Berwick in 1814, the town was named for Berwick-on-Tweed, a town on the Anglo-Scottish border. The Abenaki name for the region was Newichawannock, which meant "river with many falls". The presence of the Salmon Falls River led to settlement in about 1631. William Chadbourne, James Wall and John Goddard built a grist mill and sawmill on Assabumbadoc Falls in 1634. Richard Leader expanded the mill in 1651 to accommodate up to 20 saws. The "Great Mill Workes" was run by Scottish prisoners of war that had been captured by Oliver Cromwell's armies during the Battle of Dunbar in 1650 and brought as slaves to work in the colonies.
Numerous mills were erected, producing cotton textiles, lumber and manufactured goods. The Portsmouth Manufacturing Co. that is referenced on the map was established in 1831, producing two million yards of cotton sheeting per year by 1868. The mill closed in 1893, with most of its buildings razed in 1917. The surviving Greek Revival style counting house now houses the Old Berwick Historical Society Museum.
