Maine, Vidgo got you covered!

At Vidgo app, we are honored to serve the state, which is the 39th most extensive and the 42nd most populous of the 50 U.S. states. It is the number one US producer of low-bush blueberries, and is known for its jagged, rocky coastline; low, rolling mountains; heavily forested interior, and picturesque waterways. The economy of the state increasingly and majorly depends upon the tourism and outdoor recreation. It is also the home of “The Jackson Laboratory,” the world's largest non-profit mammalian genetic research facility.

According to Wikipedia, Maine is a state in New England, in the United States. It is the 39th most extensive and the 42nd most populous of the 50 U.S. states. The state is bordered by New Hampshire to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the south and east, and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Quebec to the east and north, respectively. Maine is the easternmost state in the contiguous United States, and the northernmost east of the Great Lakes. It is known for its jagged, rocky coastline; low, rolling mountains; heavily forested interior, and picturesque waterways; and also its seafood cuisine, especially clams and lobster. There is a continental climate throughout the state, even in coastal areas such as its most populous city of Portland. The capital is Augusta.

For thousands of years, indigenous peoples were the only inhabitants of the territory that is now Maine. At the time of European arrival in what is now Maine, several Algonquian-speaking peoples inhabited the area. The first European settlement in the area was by the French in 1604 on Saint Croix Island, by Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Mons. The first English settlement was the short-lived Popham Colony, established by the Plymouth Company in 1607. A number of English settlements were established along the coast of Maine in the 1620s, although the rugged climate, deprivations, and conflict with the local peoples caused many to fail over the years.

As Maine entered the 18th century, only a half dozen European settlements had survived. Loyalist and Patriot forces contended for Maine's territory during the American Revolution and the War of 1812. Maine was part of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts until 1820, when it voted to secede from Massachusetts to become an independent state. On March 15, 1820, it was admitted to the Union as the 23rd state under the Missouri Compromise.
