One of the founders (Francis Pettygrove) was originally from Portland Maine, and the other was from Boston. They both wanted to name the new city after their hometown.

It’s entirely possible that part of Pettygrove why wanted to name it after his hometown is because he thought it would be fitting for river port city. But idk if he ever stated anything to that effect.

Nope, the name was decided with coin flip. Lol Could ended up as Boston.

Are the immigrants the whit…I mean RIGHT skin color?? Cause this administration is filled to the brim with stable geniuses who are ✨ magically ✨ able to tell who is legal and who isn’t. We should tottaaaaalllly trust their judgement without question, they just want what’s best for the country, with absolutely NO ulterior motives.
