Machias is a historic town located in Washington County, Maine, and serves as the county seat. Situated along the Machias River, the town played a significant role in American history as the site of the first naval battle of the American Revolution, known as the Battle of Machias.
The town's name derives from a Native American word meaning "bad little falls," referring to the falls on the Machias River that were once crucial to the area's lumber industry. Today, Machias maintains its small-town New England character while serving as an educational and cultural center for the region, being home to the University of Maine at Machias. The town's heritage is reflected in its well-preserved historic buildings and continuing maritime traditions.
The surrounding area features characteristic Down East Maine landscapes, including rocky coastlines, forests, and blueberry barrens that have long been part of the region's economic and cultural identity.
