SAGADAHOC COUNTY
|
Sagadahoc County is located in the midcoast region of Maine. It is made up of ten communities totaling 250 square miles, with a population of 33,525. The County is home to Maine's largest employer, Bath Iron Works, Inc. and a close neighbor to the Brunswick Naval Air Station and nationally known Bowdoin College. It is a popular area for tourists, offering phenomenal coastline, a rich maritime heritage, quaint towns, antique shops and more.
Sagadahoc became a county in 1854 and was originally part of Lincoln County. The name Sagadahoc is said to come from the Sasanoa Indian Tribe and means mouth of big river. The big river refers to the Kennebec River. The Courthouse was built in 1869. In 1985 it was renovated and a three story addition was added. This same courthouse is home for the Sheriff's Department. Bath, Topsham, and Richmond maintain full time police departments. The rest of the county is served by the Sagadahoc County Sheriff's Department. The Sheriff's Department has 22 full time employees and is augmented by a part time staff of 28. |
