The Yarmouth area has always had a strong maritime history with a legacy of shipbuilding and those who chose the seafaring life. On land, Yarmouth had a diverse industrial history with goods produced in mills located on the four falls of the Royal River. As the town expanded in the late-19th century, civic leaders recognized the need to modernize its infrastructure. A library and central grammar school were built, sewer lines were laid, and telephone service and electricity became available. The railroads allowed for goods to be shipped in and out of the town, and new trolley lines promoted tourism in the area. The automobile changed the direction of the town literally as Route 1, built in 1948, became the primary road north and south to Portland, replacing coastal Route 88. By the 20th century, the shipbuilding era had come to a close and the mills were soon to follow. Despite these setbacks, the town of Yarmouth has consistently grown while maintaining the character of a small New England village. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
