Camden, Maritime town in Knox County, Maine, US
The waterfront settlement sits between Mount Battie and Penobscot Bay, featuring a natural harbor filled with sailing vessels and fishing boats.
The Massachusetts General Court incorporated the Megunticook Plantation as Camden in 1791, naming it after British Parliament member Charles Pratt.
The Camden Opera House, constructed after the 1892 fire, continues to present theatrical performances, music concerts, and film screenings throughout the year.
The town population of 5,232 residents increases three times during summer months when visitors arrive for outdoor activities and maritime experiences.
The U.S. National Toboggan Championships take place annually in Camden, where participants race down a 400-foot ice chute at speeds of 35 mph.
