History

Camden is a town located in Knox County, Maine, in the northeastern United States. It is a popular tourist destination due to its picturesque location on the coast of Maine and its charming downtown area.

The area that is now Camden was originally inhabited by the Penobscot Native American tribe. European explorers first visited the area in the late 16th century, but it was not until the late 18th century that the town was settled by Europeans.

The town was officially incorporated in 1791 and named after Charles Pratt, 1st Earl Camden, a British politician who supported American independence. The town was primarily a shipbuilding and trading center in its early years, with the harbor being a key factor in its growth and prosperity.
