Freeport, Commercial town in Cumberland County, Maine
Located at an elevation of 11 meters, Freeport extends along the Harraseeket River with four distinct areas: Mast Landing, Porter's Landing, South Freeport, and Freeport Corner.
The settlement, initially named Harraseeket after the river, gained independence from North Yarmouth and incorporated as Freeport on February 14, 1789.
The Harraseeket Historic District contains numerous preserved buildings from different periods, reflecting the maritime and commercial heritage of the four original villages.
The town receives approximately 3.5 million visitors annually who access the location through U.S. Route 1, Interstate-295, and Amtrak's Downeaster train service.
The L.L. Bean flagship store, established in 1912, operates continuously throughout the day and anchors a network of retail establishments in the town center.
