Lewiston, Industrial city in Androscoggin County, Maine, US
Located 36 miles north of Portland, Lewiston stands along the Androscoggin River with multiple textile mills and manufacturing facilities dominating its landscape.
Founded in 1795, Lewiston emerged as a textile manufacturing center when Benjamin Bates established numerous mills, attracting Irish immigrants and French-Canadian workers.
The Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, constructed in Gothic Revival style, represents the religious heritage of French-Canadian and Irish immigrant communities.
The Central Maine Medical Center serves as a regional healthcare facility, providing medical services to residents across Androscoggin County and neighboring areas.
Somali immigrants who arrived in the late 1990s transformed Kennedy Park neighborhood with ethnic stores, creating a new commercial district.
