Brief Description and History of Phippsburg: Phippsburg constitutes the southern point of Sagadahoc County and lies between the Kennebec River on the east and New Meadows Harbor and West Bath on the west. On the opposite side of this harbor is Great Island, a part of Harpswell; on the eastern side are the island towns of Arrowsic and Georgetown; Bath lies at the northwest. Phippsburg is very nearly 12-1/2 miles in extreme length and has an average width of about 3 miles, with bays and inlets marking its entire circumference. Following the shore northeastward from Cape Small Point, is the inlet known as Sprague's and Morse's Rivers, succeeded by Hunniwell's Beach; north which Hunniwell's Point and Sabino peninsula form the eastern shore of Atkins' Bay. On its northern side rises the lofty bluff of Coxe's Head, upon which, in 1814, an earthwork was erected; beyond which is Wyman's Bay. At the north looms Parker's Head, and at its southwestern side is the inlet basin forming the tide-power known as Parker's Head Mill Pond. Next is the harbor at Phippsburg Center, with Drummore Bay two miles above with inlet and tide-power. Through Fiddler's Reach, a curve of the Kennebec around the northern end of Phippsburg, is Winnegance Creek, nearly three miles in length and a basin at its extremity, forming two unsurpassed tide-powers, and separating Phippsburg from Bath and from West Bath, except for a neck 200 rods in width, the Winnegance Carrying Place. South of this is the Western Basin, Horse Island Harbor, Small Point Harbor, and several others. There is some sale meadow in the northern part and the insulated ponds are Cornelius, Water Cove, Parker's Head, Rooks, and Popham. The surface of the town is rough and ledgy, but without high hills, except the long ridge of Morse's Mountain, which rises some 50 feet above the plain. The depth of water is sufficient for vessels of considerable size to come quite up to the mills on several of the tide-powers. On the Winnegance Tide-Power, three miles from the Bath post office and four miles from Phippsburg Center Village, have been sixteen mills, nine on the Bath side and seven on the Phippsburg side of the line. Some of these, however, were burned several years since. Phippsburg contains the site of the earliest English colony in New England. The peninsula on the eastern side of the southern part, that bears on its northeastern point the lofty granite walls of Fort Popham, still bears the marks of its occupancy by Popham's colony in 1607. West of the fort rises a long hill running southward and marking on the shore the western extremity of Hunniwell's Beach. At Small Point Harbor, on the southwest side of the town, is the site of a fishing settlement established by the Pejepscot proprietors in 1716, with the name of Augusta. Dr. Oliver Noyes, one of the proprietors, was the principal director and patron, and in 1717, Captain John Penhallow, author of a noted history of the Indian Wars, resided here. In 1716, Dr. Noyes erected a stone fort 100 feet square for the purpose of protecting the settlers who were coming in rapidly. A sloop named Pejepscot was employed as a packet between this Augusta and Boston, carrying out lumber and fish, and bringing back merchandise nad settlers. The settlement continued until Lovewell's War, when the houses were burnt and the fort destroyed by the Indians. In 1737, an attempt at resettlement was made. Among those who came at this time were three families of Halls, Clark, Wallace, Wyman, James Doughty, David Gustin, Jeremiah Springer, ***Nicholas Rideout *** and John Owens. Phippsburg was included in the Pejepscot grant to Purchase and Way, and after Wharton's purchase their lands were confirmed anew to some of the purchasers. The south part of the town was bought from the Indians by Thomas Atkins, the remainder by John Parker, Jr. in 1659, and the northern part was assigned to his brother-in-law, Thomas Webber, who also obtained an Indian title. Silvanus Davis, widely known in his day, owned and improved a farm south of Webber's . In 1734, Colonel Arthur Noble built a strong garrison on the north side of the peninsula near Fiddler's Reach. The first house of worship known in this settlement was erected near this garrison in 1736. Some 35 years later an Episcopal church was erected on the site of this first house. The present Congregational church at the Center was built about 1802. The extension of the North Yarmouth Line direct to the ocean brought the southern part of Phippsburg into that town; but the whole, for the convenience of the inhabitants, was, in 1741, annexed to Georgetown. In 1814 Phippsburg was separated from that town and incorporated under its present name, which was adopted in honor of Sir William Phips. Eminent names among the citizens of the town in days past are Mark L. Hill, Andrew Reed, Parker McCobb, James Bowker, William M. and Thomas M. Reed.
