Belfast, County seat in Waldo County, Maine, US
Belfast extends along the Passagassawakeag River estuary on Belfast Bay and Penobscot Bay, featuring a waterfront downtown district with shops and galleries.
The settlement, established in 1770 by Scots-Irish proprietors from New Hampshire, faced destruction by British forces in 1779 during the Revolutionary War.
The city maintains Federal, Greek Revival, and Italianate architecture throughout its streets, reflecting the wealth generated during its shipbuilding period.
The Waldo County General Hospital in Belfast provides medical services to residents across the county, with emergency care available around the clock.
Belfast transformed from a primary shipbuilding center producing multiple-masted schooners to a significant credit card operations hub with MBNA's arrival in the 1990s.
