Lincoln County, founded in 1760, has a population of about 35,000 residents. The county seat is Wiscasset, historically a key port town. Other important communities include Boothbay Harbor, Damariscotta, and Waldoboro. The economy is driven by tourism, fishing, boatbuilding, small manufacturing, and agriculture, with seasonal visitors playing a major role. Median household income is around $70,000, close to the state average, though rural communities face challenges related to jobs and aging demographics.

Politically, Lincoln County leans Democratic but remains competitive, with independents frequently influencing local elections. Coastal towns tend to vote more liberal, while inland communities are more conservative. Key issues include fishing regulations, property taxes, housing affordability, and rural economic development. With its strong maritime economy and mix of coastal and inland towns, Lincoln County reflects many of Maine’s broader political and economic debates.
