Woolwich

Woolwich occupies the east bank of the tidal Kennebec River in Maine’s Midcoast region. Facing the shipbuilding city of Bath, it belongs to the lower-river setting where the Kennebec broadens on its way to the Atlantic. The town was incorporated in 1759 and takes its name from Woolwich in England, reflecting this part of Maine’s long maritime connection. Wooded riverbanks and residential roads give Woolwich a quieter character than Bath’s urban centre across the water. The Sagadahoc Bridge, carrying US Route 1, links the two communities.
