Their story is an inspiring tale of hardship, innovation, and remarkable endurance. The Nation’s Playground: With its remarkable coastline, deep-green forest, and rolling landscape, Maine has been a favorite place for visitors for over a century. Over the last century, tourism has grown into the state’s largest industry. Trails, Rails & Roads: The story of transportation in Maine is the story of the state’s ongoing challenge to keep its people connected both to economic markets and to each other. Maine’s communities have been formed by the patterns of transportation. Power Lines: Maine switched on its first electric light in 1880 and, within a decade, the state’s urban areas were benefitting from the advantages of electricity. However, electrification was slow to reach outlying rural areas and over one-quarter of the state didn’t receive electricity until into the 1940s.
