Kittery
Kittery is a town in York County, incorporated from Piscataquis Plantation on November 20, 1652 as the first town in the District of Maine. It was joined by York two days later. Apledore was incorporated as a town in 1661; its name was changed to Isles of Shoals in 1665 and then annexed to Kittery in 1696.
The town serves as the gateway to Maine from points south with its old and more modern bridges spanning the Piscataqua River.
The federal government established the Navy Yard at Kittery in 1806. The 74-gun ship Washington was the first vessel built in the Yard in 1815.
