Maine became a state in 1820 as part of the Missouri Compromise. This act formed both Maine and Missouri to help keep the balance between free and slave states, Maine being a free state, and Missouri being a slave state. Maine had been part of Massachusetts until then.

The resolutions adopting the seal upon which this motto appears, give some insight into the meaning intended by the state motto: "...as the Polar Star has been considered the mariner's guide and director in conducting the ship over the pathless ocean to the desired haven, and as the center of magnetic attraction; as it has been figuratively used to denote the point, to which all affections turn, and as it is here intended to represent the State, it may be considered the citizens' guide, and the object to which the patriot's best exertions should be directed".The motto has been used for the name of the Dirigo Health Agency which oversees the state of Maine's health care system."Dirigo" or I lead.
