Saco

Among Maine’s cities, Saco stands out for its setting on the lower Saco River, close to the Atlantic coast. The river long shaped the city’s economy: its current powered textile mills, and former industrial buildings still mark the centre near the crossings to neighbouring Biddeford. Saco’s shoreline includes Camp Ellis at the river mouth, while Ferry Beach State Park preserves beach, dunes and woodland beside Saco Bay. Thornton Academy, an independent school founded in 1811, remains a longstanding local institution.
