Westbrook, a little city located just to the east of Portland, Maine, has been known by this moniker for about 200 years now, and its former name is all but forgotten. Immediately before its name was changed to honor Colonel Thomas Westbrook, a local military commander in the French and Indian Wars, it was known as Stroudwater. But, before that, the settlement was named Saccarappa, after one of the two falls on the Presumpscott River, which runs through the town.
Westbrook has a long history as a mill town, first lumber and then paper, because of its location on the river. Actually, a second river runs through the town -- an early canal provided a way to get goods to market by connecting the rivers with Lake Sebago to the east, and its proximity to the ocean on the Portland side didn't hurt, either.
