Maine became the 23rd state in the US on March 15, 1820. Maine was only the second state to be created from a pre-existing one, following Kentucky (the 15th state in 1792).
Maine, known as the Pine Tree State, contains approximately 17.6 million acres of forest land, which covers 89 percent of the state's land area. The state also is known for more than 40,000 acres of wild blueberries. Maine's long rocky Atlantic Coast is known for its frigid waters and an ample fishery – most famed for the Maine lobster.
