Dubbed the prettiest place in Maine, Camden has a rich history that stretches back to 1768. The town was originally inhabited by Native Americans. After Maine was recognized as a state, Camden's economy became centered on ship building and other forms of manufacturing.

Today, Camden draws tourists from all over the world because of its rugged mountains, spacious lakes, and meandering rivers. It is one of the few spots along the Atlantic Seaboard where the water and mountains come together in one place. In recent years, Camden has attracted a thriving community of retirees because of its peaceful and secluded location.
