HARPSWELL DESCRIPTION.
HARPSWELL.
T HIS TOWN was incorporated January 20, 1758. The town is bounded on the north by Brunswick, on the east by New Meadows River and on the south and west by Casco Bay. Tbe acreage of the Neck is 4,570 acres, according to measurements made in 1731. It consists of a Peninsula called Harpswell or Merri- coneag Neck, which extends southwest from Brunswick. The word in full would be
SURF SCENE, SOUTH HARPSWELL.
Merrucooneag, from Merru (swift quick) and oongan (portage), meaning the quick carrying place. To enumerate the attractions offered the summer visitors here would be an endless task. Harpswell is recognized by all to be one of the favored spots of Casco Bay. Few places offer such fine roads for driving or bicycling, some twenty miles of unsurpassed scenery, which well repay seeing. The advantages of- fered for yachting, boating and deep sea fishing are equal to any on the Maine coast.
