What is the Capital of Maine?
Waterville; Portland; Augusta; Montpelier; 3
General James Edward Oglethorpe laid the foundation for the city of Augusta in 1736. The city’s lovely name, Augusta, was given in honor of Princess Augusta from Wales. One interesting trivia about Maine’s capital city is its former residents. Broad, Greene, and Telfair streets were where the upper-class locals chose to make their homes. They were referred to as “Pinch Gut” because most females who lived in the vicinity wore corsets.
