State of Maine
3OOth Anniversary
Occurs on Sunday


The S00th anniversary of Maine,
dating from a province. occurred Sun
day and will be appropriately observ-
ed by the Maine Historical Society at
later date.
Three centuries ago Sir Ferdinando
Gorges and Capt. John Mason procur-
ed from the Council for New England
a patent for the region between the
Merrimac and Sagadahoc rivers, and
60 miles inland, under the name of the
Province of Maine. The patent gave
the company not only the monopoly of
trade. but extensive powers of Gov
eminent and control as well.
A permanent settlement was begun
at Saco in 1923, followed by another
at Agamenticus, now York. The peo-
pie of Plymouth, who had been trad
ing on the Kennebec and Penobscot,
obtained from the council in 1929
grant of 100000 acres on both sides
Of the Kennebec. The next few years
Maine, eventually embracing the
whole seacoast from the Piscataqua
to the Penobscot, except the region
between the Kennebec and Damaris-
Gotta, and most of this last was
claimed by Plymouth under the Ken
nebec patent.
The monopoly given to the Council
for New England by the patent of
20 had been several times attacked
in Parliament where the opposition to
monopolies had rapidly arisen and in
1885 the patent was surrendered. The
territory was divided by lot among
the IL patentees. Sir Georges receiv-
| ing the share which, with additions,
| was confined to him by Charles / in
| 1859 as the Province of Maine. The
grant made by the Royal Charter in
| cluded about one sixth of the present
State of Maine.
During that same year, Sir Georges
obtained Provincial charter from
the King comforting upon him the
title of Lord Proprietor of the Prov
| ince of Maine, his domain to be from
the Kennebec to the Piscataqua and
backward 100 miles from the coast.
He had absolute authority over the
/ people Of his province who were then
+. not more than 800 in numbers. Saco,
established by him in 1923, contain
ed one-half of this population.
| Sir Georges drafted a cumberous
constitution for his people and he was
| also empowered of his own motion to
! levy taxes, raise troops and declare
war. There We're almost enough Of
ficcrs provided for in the constitu-
( tional plan to give every one of his
subjects a public position.
Sir Gorges was largely Instrument
/ tai in procuring the new charter of
1920 for the Plymouth Company and
! was at all times of it's existence the
most influential member of that body.
In 1885 Sir Gorges sought to be ap-
pointed Governor General Of all New
England. but the English Civil War,
in which he espouscd the Royal cause,
prevented him from ever actually
holding that Office.
