Welcome to Scarborough


Cumberland County ME GenWeb Project

Originally a random collection of colonial settlements dating from the early 1600's in what the Indians called Owascoag, or "place of much grass". Scarborough formally became a town in 1658 and comprised the settlements at Black Point (Prouts Neck today), Blue Point, Dunstan, and trading posts on what is now Stratton and Bluff Island. The town extended eight miles inland from the coast and was a part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
