Sagadahoc County, established in 1854, is Maine’s smallest county by land area, with a population of about 36,000 residents. The county seat is Bath, known for its historic Bath Iron Works shipyard, one of the region’s largest employers. Other key towns include Topsham, Richmond, and Woolwich. The local economy centers on shipbuilding, manufacturing, healthcare, education, retail, and tourism, with median household income around $75,000, above the state average.

Politically, Sagadahoc has trended Democratic in recent elections but remains competitive, with independents often shaping local outcomes. Suburban growth around Topsham contrasts with Bath’s working-class, union-centered roots. Major issues include property taxes, housing costs, land use, and waterfront economic policy. With its shipbuilding legacy and mix of suburban and coastal communities, Sagadahoc holds an important place in Maine’s economy and politics.
