It was visited by European explorers and fishermen starting in the sixteenth century and was known among them as Long Reach owing to the 4-mile straight stretch of river that provided good anchorage and landing. The first European settlers began arriving in 1640, but were driven out repeatedly by conflicts with native people until a period of settlement began again in earnest in 1724. In 1738, Long Reach was included in the incorporation of Georgetown. The settlement on the west side of “the reach” became the “Second Parish of Georgetown” in 1753, and then was incorporated as the town of Bath in 1781. The name “Bath” was selected because of a possible connection to Bath, England, a small but famous, fashionable town undergoing a building boom of fabulous architecture, and perhaps also due to family connections of some of the leading citizens with that Old World city.

Its immediate goal was to ensure that the Sagadahoc History and Genealogy Room in the Patten Free Library was adequately funded and staffed so that its collections could remain open to the public on a regular basis. BHS conducted a three-year campaign to raise funds for an endowment to provide income for ongoing support; we continue to build our endowment fund so that we can accomplish this mission. Money raised through annual membership dues, donations and other projects is used to expand and preserve our collections (housed in the History Room), and to support programming, communications, research and collaborative projects on local history.
