Kennebunk is a town located in York County, Maine, with a rich history dating back to the 1600s. The area that is now Kennebunk was originally inhabited by the Abenaki Native American tribe. European settlement began in the 1600s when European traders and fishermen arrived in the region.

Kennebunk was first settled in 1629 and was known as "Cape Porpus" at the time. In 1653, the town was officially incorporated and renamed "Kennebunk," which is derived from the Abenaki term "kenneboink," meaning "long cut bank" or "long, sandy ridge." The town's name reflects its geographical location along the Kennebunk River.
