The short answer is "Sort of" Maine didn't become a state on its own until 1820, when it entered the Union as part of the Missouri Compromise. ( see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missouri_Compromise ) Before that time, Maine was part of the colony/state of Massachusetts, which was one of the thirteen original colonies. - Brian
