History

Port Clyde is a small coastal village located in Knox County, Maine, United States. It has a rich history closely tied to maritime activities, fishing, and lobstering. Let's explore the history of Port Clyde.

Early Settlement and Fishing: The area around Port Clyde was originally inhabited by the Wawenock Abenaki Native American tribe. European settlers arrived in the late 18th century, attracted by the abundant fishing grounds and natural resources of the region. Fishing became the primary livelihood of the early settlers, with cod and mackerel being the main catches. The village gradually developed as a fishing and trading hub.
