If you've ever read Charlotte's Web, you know a little bit about Brooklin, Maine. The author of Charlotte's Web, E.B. White, was a long time resident of Brooklin, Maine. He based many of his book's observations on life in this town and surrounding area and the animals in his barn. Brooklin Maine is a Downeast coastal town surrounded by Blue Hill Bay to the east, Jericho Bay to the south, and Eggemoggin Reach to the southwest. Its location makes the town a mecca for sailing, fishing, lobstering, boatbuilding, and summer tourism.

From the first settlers on Naskeag Point, the sea has shaped Brooklin's history. Nineteenth-century archeological digs found relics of the ancient Red Paint People and Native Americans in Brooklin. In the early 1900s, Col. Adam Wesley Powell dug artifacts of these people, and later, the famous Norse coin was found here. In North Brooklin, On Naskeag Point, a Revolutionary War battle was fought by the local residents. At Center Harbor, sardines and clam factories made Brooklin rich, and in Haven, Noah Tibbets started a summer colony of prominent residents. On Flye Point, another colony was founded on land deeded to the Flye family by the king of England. Boats were built at Allenís Cove, Herrickís Bay, Bridges Point, Benjamin River, and Center Harbor.

With its numerous boatyards, the famous Wooden Boat School, and WoodenBoat magazine, Brooklin has been called the Boat building Capital of the World. Bordering Blue Hill, this sweet little village offers a general store, galleries and lodging. Flye Point is simply beautiful. Many have chosen Flye Point for their wedding and many artists are drawn to it. Excerpt from http://www.downeastmaineonline.com
