Maine Established During the Missouri Compromise

There is nothing plain about the state of Maine. And for that matter there is nothing plain about the residents either. This beautiful New England state shares much in common with its neighbors, such as a passion for the Patriots , and other beautiful geographic elements. But of course each of these states also has its unique environment and cultural aspects that sets it apart from the rest, while also remaining part of the whole. The entire region is comprised of the states Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island and Connecticut.

One of the interesting aspects of New England is that it happens to be one of the most progressive and liberally minded regions of the country, while it also has some of the strongest historical heritage features. Maine is the northernmost of these states and it cuts into a chunk of Canada. Three of its sides are bordered by Canada and it is also the state that sits the furthest to the east. A couple of the other unique aspects of this state are that it is the only one whose name is only one syllable long and it also borders only one other state, which is New Hampshire. It was one of the slower regions to develop and it finally became the 23rd state with the formation of the Missouri Compromise.

Many of the tourist accommodations in this state are beautiful bed and breakfasts though it is also easy to find some luxury hotels. Maine is an extremely welcoming and friendly state, and tourists are more than encouraged to enjoy the numerous cultural attractions and beautiful geography of the state. Portland is the largest city though Augusta is its capital, coming in at less than half the population of Portland. But the capital city of many states is not its largest city and California and Texas are two other examples of this. As the largest city in Maine, it is also the primary cultural center. With establishments and organizations such as the Maine Historical Society Museum , the Portland Stage Company and the Portland Museum of art attract numerous tourists to the city and keep residents entertained and satisfied.
