Winterport is a small town located in Waldo County, Maine. Incorporated March 12, 1860 and once home to far-ranging sea captains, Winterport retains a 19th century charm that blends well with 20th century conveniences. In 1766 explorers started settlements at the villages of Winterport and Marsh Stream in the Town of Frankfort. On March 12, 1860 the Town of Winterport was incorporated and had a population of 2380. Winterport’s harbor became the home to many far-ranging sea captains because it was the last open and unfrozen inland harbor on the deep and fast-flowing Penobscot River. Older homes, many built for Winterport sea captains, still stand along Winterport Village Streets.

Located just 12 miles south of Bangor on Route 1A, Winterport faces the deep and fast-flowing Penobscot River. Older homes, many built for Winterport sea captains, stand along the downtown roadways. Sidewalks encourage people to stroll through the town.

From the historic downtown, where people can find a variety of restaurants and small businesses, visitors can walk the short distance to the Winterport waterfront and watch boats make their way to and from the Penobscot Bay and open waters just beyond.
