First settled in 1631, Berwick Maine was originally part of Kittery. During King Williams war in 1690-1691, the village of Berwick was burned and abandoned, not to be resetteled again until 1703. In 1713, Berwick was incorporated as a town. Modern day Berwick is not as large as it once was, now that North Berwick, and South Berwick has seperated from it.

Still a small town feel, a "border-town", Berwick has approximately 7000 residents. Berwick is called a border town because of it's close proximity to New Hampshire. A great commuter friendly location, Berwick is in the South East corner of Maine and is only a quick 35 minute drive North to Portland Maine, and a short 20 minute drive to Portsmouth New Hampshire.
