The population was 3,120 at the 2010 census. It includes the villages of East Boothbay and Trevett. The Boothbay region is a center of summer tourist activity, and a significant part of its population does not live there year-round.[2] Five shipyards are located in the town, the largest of which is Washburn & Doughty.[3] HistoryThe first European presence was a British fishing station on Cape Newagen in 1623. By the 1630s, there were a few families. Henry Curtis purchased from the sachem Mowhotiwormet (commonly known as Chief Robinhood) the right to settle here in 1666. The inhabitants fled in 1676 during King Philip's War and returned in 1677. In 1689 during King William's War, they were driven out again, and the village remained a desolate waste for 40 years.[4] Colonel David Dunbar, governor of the Territory of Sagadahock, laid out a town in 1730 known as Townsend, and convinced about 40 families of Scots-Irish Presbyterians, largely from the north of Ireland, to settle here. Some were veterans of the Revolution of 1688. Named for Lord Charles Townshend, this settlement survived and was incorporated November 3, 1764. It was renamed Boothbay in 1842 after the hamlet of Boothby, which is located about a mile east of Welton le Marsh in Lincolnshire, England.[5] Southport was set off in 1842 and incorporated as a town, followed in 1889 by Boothbay Harbor.[6] GeographyAccording to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of {{convert|71.80|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, of which, {{convert|21.93|sqmi|sqkm|2}} of it is land and {{convert|49.87|sqmi|sqkm|2}} is water.[7] Situated on the Cape Newagen peninsula extending into the Gulf of Maine, Boothbay lies between the Sheepscot River and Damariscotta River. The town includes Damariscove Island. Boothbay is crossed by State Routes 27 and 96. It borders the towns of Edgecomb to the north, and Boothbay Harbor to the south. Separated by water, it is near the towns of Westport to the west, and South Bristol to the east. ClimateThis climatic region is typified by large seasonal temperature differences, with warm to hot (and often humid) summers and cold (sometimes severely cold) winters. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Boothbay has a humid continental climate, abbreviated "Dfb" on climate maps.[8] Demographics{{US Census population|1790= 997 |1800= 1246 |1810= 1582 |1820= 1950 |1830= 2286 |1840= 2631 |1850= 2504 |1860= 2857 |1870= 3200 |1880= 3575 |1890= 1718 |1900= 1766 |1910= 1700 |1920= 1432 |1930= 1345 |1940= 1370 |1950= 1559 |1960= 1617 |1970= 1814 |1980= 2308 |1990= 2648 |2000= 2960 |2010= 3120 |estyear=2014 |estimate=3099 |estref=[9] |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[10] }} 2010 censusAs of the census[11] of 2010, there were 3,120 people, 1,386 households, and 963 families residing in the town.
