Bath
Bath, the only city in, and county seat of, Sagadahoc County, was incorporated as a town from a portion of Georgetown on February 17, 1781. On February 14, 1844, it set off land for the formation of the town of West Bath.
On June 14, 1847 it was incorporated as a city and later, in 1855, it annexed some land from West Bath to create its current boundaries.
One of its early and famous residents was William King, Maine's first governor.
The City is home to Bath Iron Works (BIW), a major builder of military ships with sophisticated electronic weaponry. Once locally owned, BIW is now a division of the General Dynamics Corporation.
The Maine Maritime Museum, just down the Kennebec River from BIW, is an outstanding resource for appreciating the State's marine heritage.
