History

The final large sailing vessel was built in 1890.[http://www.yarmouth.me.us Yarmouth Historical Society], via the Yarmouth/North Yarmouth Community Guide, 'Portland Press Herald', Summer 2007 Almost three hundred vessels were launched by Yarmouth's shipyards in the century between 1790 and 1890.'Images of America: Yarmouth', Hall, Alan M., Arcadia (2002) Rapid growth was experienced again around 1948 when US Route 1 in Maine 1 was constructed. Vessels were being built by 1740, and by 1818 shipbuilding in the area was in full swing, though Yarmouth's industry peaked in the 1870s, and declined rapidly shortly thereafter. Once resettlement began, the town's population began to grow rapidly. The fort had for some time been occupied by George Felt, who had in turn purchased it from John Phillips, a Welshman. Tanneries were built near brooks; potteries and brickyards put to use the natural clay in the area; and mills flourished along the Royal River, providing services such as iron-forging and fulling cloth.[http://www.yarmouth.me.us Yarmouth Historical Society], via the Yarmouth/North Yarmouth Community Guide, 'Portland Press Herald', Summer 2007 Maritime activities were important from the beginning of the third settlement.
