Down East Maine
| The term “Down East” or "Downeast" has been
around for quite a while. Many years ago, sailors hauling cargo to the
northeast of New England, observed that the prevailing winds came from
the southwest, pushing their schooners “downwind” in an easterly
direction. Today, generally speaking, “Downeast” refers to
Maine. More specifically though, to a Mainer, it refers to the southeastern
part of the state beginning with Ellsworth,
Maine, and including the Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor areas. |
