General Information about Stonington

Stonington is a town in Hancock County, Maine, United States. The population was 1,152 at the 2000 census. Stonington, which includes the villages of Oceanville and West Stonington, is a picturesque old seaport and tourist destination on Penobscot Bay. It is the terminus for mailboat ferry service to the island town of Isle au Haut.
The first people to live on Deer Isle, as early as 6,100 years ago, were Native Americans. Their descendants were known to early French explorers as Etchemins; some continued to live on the island even after Anglo-Americans established settlements. The first European to venture into the region was Estevan Gomez, a Portuguese working for the Spanish Crown. Gomez sailed his ship La Anunciada up Eggemoggin Reach, which divides Deer Isle from the mainland. The French, however, would be the most active in the region, establishing a fort in Castine and intermarrying with Abenaki natives. To illustrate French influence, a body buried in full armor (believed to be French) was discovered on nearby Campbell Island.
