The first settlers in Maine were the Red Paint People about 3000 years ago. By the time the Europeans came, the Abenaki, Penobscot, and Passamaquoddy tribes were in Maine. Claude de Saint-Étienne de la Tour came from France and set up a trading post. The Plymouth Colony sent some people from Massachusetts to do another trading post.
The original inhabitants of the territory that is now Maine were Algonquian-speaking peoples. The first European settlement in Maine was in 1604 by a French party. The first English settlement in Maine, the short-lived Popham Colony, was established by the Plymouth Company in 1607.
Maine was originally settled because its forests were seen as a good source of valuable lumber which could be sold to the more established colonies to the south, such as New York.
