Ellsworth, County seat in Maine, United States.
Ellsworth sits at the falls of the Union River in southern Maine and functions as a transportation hub for the region. The city spreads across flat terrain with good accessibility from surrounding communities.
The settlement was founded in 1763 and developed into a center of lumber operations and shipbuilding. It received city status in 1869.
The public library and Woodlawn Museum offer insights into local heritage and education for visitors. These institutions reflect the region's past and serve as gathering places for the community.
The city serves as a gateway for Acadia visitors with many accommodations, restaurants, and shops. Visitors find all necessary services here before heading to the coast or inland.
A ship named Susan and Abigail was built here in 1773 and opened trade routes to the West Indies. This vessel marked the beginning of the city's maritime importance.
