Census Bureau files supply the roads and municipal boundary, with buildings and water features brought together in the aerial view.
A neck and several islands
Harpswell consists of Harpswell Neck and islands including Sebascodegan, Orr’s and Bailey. The larger islands are connected by bridges. Its town history places incorporation in 1758, when it separated from North Yarmouth and took the name of Harpswell in Lincolnshire, England.
Farming, fishing and shipbuilding were local occupations. Tide-powered mills also worked here, including a gristmill at Basin Cove that operated from 1867 to 1885. Water held at high tide supplied power as it was released during the ebb. The population was 5,031 at the 2020 census.
The cribstone bridge
Bailey Island Bridge was built in 1927 and 1928 to link Bailey Island with Orr’s Island. Engineer Llewelyn N. Edwards designed a structure of granite cribstones, with a concrete roadway above. The spaces between the stone slabs allow tidal water to pass through.
The bridge entered the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and was recognized as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1984. Repair work in 2009 and 2010 replaced damaged stones while keeping the original dimensions. The bridge’s design is a specific part of the history connecting two islands within Harpswell.
