France's early attempts to colonize Maine began in the early 17th century during the exploration of North America. Notable figures like Samuel de Champlain and Pierre du Guast, Sieur de Monts, established trading posts and claimed territories in the region. The French aimed to exploit the area's resources, particularly furs, and sought to convert Indigenous peoples to Christianity. However, these efforts faced challenges from rival European powers and local Indigenous groups, limiting the success of French colonization in Maine.

How was Maine named?

Most people say Maine's name evolved in this way: Because of Maine's many islands, early sailors, fishermen, and explorers may have spoken of "the main" or the "main land." This became "Maine." Another theory holds that it comes from a province in France of the same name. It may have been chosen to compliment the queen of Charles I, Henrietta Maria, who had inherited the province in France.
