Yes.

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

Besides people, the moose is the most dangerous animal in Maine. While they are plant eaters and not people eaters, they are MUCH bigger than you are, have hooves and antlers, and hitting one with your car will not end well.

Congress established Maine as the 23rd state under the Missouri Compromise of 1820. This arrangement allowed Maine to join the Union as a free state, with Missouri entering a year later as a slave state, thereby preserving the numerical balance between free and slave states in the nation. By this time the population of Maine had reached nearly 300,000. The new state had nine counties and 236 towns. Delegates met for three weeks in October of 1819 in Portland to hammer out a state constitution, a document strongly rooted in political independence, religious freedom and popular control of government. The president of the convention was William King, a prominent Bath merchant and shipbuilder who subsequently became Maine's first governor. Portland was selected as the state capital, but this was only temporary. In 1832 the capital was moved to Augusta, a more centrally located site.

It's my question. How am I supposed to know?

From the areas of Cape Cod to the southern tip of Labrador, observers have spotted

22 species of whales and 6 species of seals.

Portland is in Oregon and Maine and I'm quite sure in many other states as well, but these two are the most notable. You could consider: * Portland CT * Portland, IN * Portkand, Tn * Portland, TX * Portland AR * Portland CO * Portland FL or a * Portland KS. Some might be considered river ports or early vestiges of ports but some had to have been named for somewhere else because who can today envision a Port Land or Landing in high mountain country like Colorado.
