I've been there. every town in Maine is a small town compared to most of the country. for Maine it's a fairly large city. pretty sure Augusta and Portland are larger. not sure about Kittery and Sanford...

@GerOttman I just looked it up. Lewiston is the second largest city by population in Maine to Portland. Larger than the towns you mentioned, and larger than Bangor.

@windinhishair Agusta is #3? I know it's the capitol city but most of Maine by my memory is pine trees and mosquitoes!

@GerOttman Augusta is actually 13th with just over 19,000. The top ten are
1. Portland
2. Lewiston
3. Bangor
4. South Portland
5. Auburn
6. Scarborough
7. Biddeford
8. Sanford
9. Brunswick
10. Saco

Most of Maine is very heavily wooded, as you remember, and the insects are awful in early summer!
