Sagadahoc County, Administrative county in Mid Coast Maine, United States
Sagadahoc County is an administrative division in Mid Coast Maine featuring both coastal areas and river valleys. The region encompasses several small communities spread across a landscape shaped by waterways and forests.
The first European settlement arrived in 1607 with the Popham Colony, though it was abandoned within a year. The region later developed into a maritime hub centered on shipbuilding and trade along its rivers.
The name comes from an Abenaki word meaning "outlet of a river," reflecting the region's deep connection to water and Native peoples. This heritage is still visible in how the communities here relate to rivers and coastal traditions.
Bath serves as the county seat and a natural hub for exploring the area. The road network makes it easy to reach the different communities and coastal features throughout the region.
Although it ranks as Maine's smallest county, about one-third of its territory is water. This unusual composition makes it one of the wettest counties in the state relative to its size.
