Maine used to be a French territory and its name comes from the
French province of the same name. The largest of the New England
states in area, Maine, in 1820, was the 23rd state to join the
Union. The most sparsely populated state east of the Mississippi
River is appropriately called the "Pine Tree State", as 90 percent
of its land is forest. Maine forms the northeastern corner of the
United States. West Quoddy Head is the country's easternmost piece
of land. Along the famous rock-bound coast of Maine are lighthouses,
sandy beaches, quiet fishing villages and thousands of offshore
islands.
