Excerpt from Geography of Maine When that land which was called the New World, but which we now know as the Western Hemisphere, was discovered, the inhabitants were Indians, and in the territory known to-day as the State of Maine, it is generally believed that the tribe of red men who called themselves Openangos lived on the shores of Passamaquoddy Bay. Those known as Sokokis are supposed to have been the natives who dwelt in the vicinity of the Saco River. The Tarratines claimed the lands bordering on the Penobscot River, while the Wawenocks lived near the Sheepscot, Pemaquid and St. Georges rivers. The Canibas were living on the banks of the Kennebec River, while the Etechemins occupied the country between the Penobscot and the St. John rivers. Those Indians who called themselves Anasagunticooks claimed the waters and territories of the Androscoggin River from its sources to Merry-meeting Bay, and on the west side of the Sagadahock to the sea. Thus it can be seen that the territory afterward named Maine, was inhabited when Columbus first saw land in the Western Hemisphere, although by how many people it is impossible to say, some writers setting the figures at eleven thousand, and others claiming that the population must have been less than half that number.
