North Yarmouth
North Yarmouth is a town in Cumberland County, incorporated on June 17, 1683 from what is known as the ancient territory of Westcustigo, the Indian term for mouth of the river, in this case the Royall (now Royal) River, named for William Royall an early proprietor.
The first action in King William's War occurred when Indians attacked the settlement here.
The town was one of the recipients of a copy of the Declaration of Independence, dated July 17, 1776, and ordered read by the Massachusetts authorities as a means of informing Maine towns that independence had been declared. Over 200 years later, the copy was found in the estate of a prominent local resident and ownership was restored to the town in 2001.
North Yarmouth's rapidly growing community is within easy reach of Yarmouth, Brunswick, and the greater Portland area via Maine Routes 9, 115, and 231, and by nearby Interstate 95 and U.S. Route 1.
