Description
Frenchman's Bay Bar Harbor - is a town on Mount Desert Island in Hancock County, Maine, United States.
This is the early morning view of the Lobster boats in Frenchman's Bay with the small iconic islands surrounded by the sun rising warming the cloudy blue sky and fog as a new day begins.
Bar Harbor is home to the largest parts of Acadia National Park, including Cadillac Mountain, the highest point within 25 miles (40 km) of the coastline of the Eastern United States.
This awesome little community was first settled by Europeans in 1763 by Israel Higgins and John Thomas and incorporated on February 23, 1796 as Eden, after Sir Richard Eden, an English statesman.
Early industries included fishing, lumbering and shipbuilding as this New England community began to grow.
With the best soil on Mount Desert Island, it also developed agriculture. In the 1840s, its rugged maritime scenery attracted the Hudson River School and Luminism artists Thomas Cole, Frederic Edwin Church, William Hart and Fitz Henry Lane.
Inspired by their paintings, journalists, sportsmen and "rusticators" soon followed.
Agamont House, the first hotel in Eden, was established in 1855 by Tobias Roberts. Birch Point, the first summer estate, was built in 1868 by Alpheus Hardy.
