The largest of the New England states in area, Maine, in 1820, was the
23rd state to join the Union. Its name comes from an ancient French
province of the same name. The most sparsely populated state east of
the Mississippi River, it's appropriately called the "Pine Tree
State," as 90 percent of its land is forest. Not surprisingly, most of
Maine's economy is related to timber and the production of paper and
paper products although the millions of tourists who flock each summer
to "Vacationland" are a significant source of revenue. The capital is
Augusta; the state flower is the white pine cone and tassel.
