Columbia Falls
Columbia Falls is a town in Washington County, incorporated on March 25, 1863 from a portion of its sister community to the west, Columbia.
This former lumbering and shipbuilding community boasts several notable homes from the bygone era. The Ruggles House on Main Street, built for lumberman and judge Thomas Ruggles, is an example of superb workmanship.
The blueberry industry has sustained the local economy to keep the population growing, however modestly, in this economically challenged part of Maine.
