The principal city in Androscoggin County, Lewiston is the second largest city of Maine after Portland and also the state’s most populous. Known for a relatively low cost of living, Lewiston is Maine’s culture and significantly impacts the state’s commerce, religion, economy, education, and diversity. Lewiston is also home to the largest French-speaking community, only second in percentage of speakers as opposed to English by Louisiana’s St. Martin parish. Incorporated as Lewiston is 1795, the area was originally inhabited by members of the larger Androscoggin tribe from which the county gets its name. Lewiston Falls on the Androscoggin River became attractive for hydro manufacturing such as textile and to a larger extent, rail. One of the first universities to admit people of color before the emancipation was proclaimed is Maine State Seminary, later incorporated as Bates College. Founded by Reverend Oren Burbank Cheney, this college became an arts center with liberal ideas that are associated with Lewiston, and where we deliver vehicles regularly.
