For a truly incredible place to live, you won’t find a more invigorating and revitalizing location that the City of Bath. A maritime community that epitomizes everything good and noble about New England, the community of Bath has long been a beacon of prosperity, righteousness, and progress!

Located in a spectacular setting along the banks of the Kennebec River where it meets the Atlantic Ocean, Bath is the shining jewel in a land that is magnificently broken up by the impacts of the ocean, which has impressively carved out a plethora of inlets, coves, and bays. With so much water surrounding it, it is no wonder that Bath has a rich seafaring history.

Ever since the European settlement some 400 years ago, Bath has been a center for shipbuilding and maritime affairs. Ships built by Bath in those days have sailed around the world and these vessels were noted for their superb craftsmanship, durability, and longevity. Today, Bath remains an important shipbuilding center and is home to Bath Iron Works, one of the world’s premier shipbuilding companies who are responsible for manufacturing most of the US Navy’s fleet. Bath’s shipbuilding history can be reviewed at the popular Maine Maritime Museum.

This town, rich in history and natural splendor, is a pure treat to visit, and an even more gratifying place to live.
