Kittery
Few places in Maine have a history as closely tied to naval shipbuilding as Kittery. On the eastern bank of the Piscataqua River, it faces Portsmouth, New Hampshire, while the river reaches the Atlantic nearby. Portsmouth Naval Shipyard occupies Seavey Island in Kittery and began operations in 1800; despite its name, it is in Maine. The yard has long been a major United States Navy facility, notably for submarine construction and overhaul. Kittery’s settled waterfront contrasts with the wooded southern Maine setting crossed by Interstate 95, the principal road connection toward New Hampshire. Fort McClary State Historic Site preserves a coastal fortification near the Piscataqua’s entrance.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
