Bowdoinham is best known in Maine for its setting beside Merrymeeting Bay, a tidal freshwater estuary fed by the Kennebec, Androscoggin and Cathance rivers. The town occupies a low-lying riverside landscape where broad marshes and wooded banks reflect the powerful reach of the tides far inland from the Atlantic. Incorporated in 1764, Bowdoinham developed as a rural community with close ties to the water and surrounding farmland. Its location also places it near the meeting point of several of central Maine’s most important waterways.
