The first European settlement in Maine was in 1604 by a French party. The first English settlement in Maine, the short-livedPopham Colony, was established by thePlymouth Company in 1607. A number of English settlements were established along the coast of Maine in the 1620s, although the rugged climate, deprivations, and Indian attacks wiped out many of them over the years.
