County of Hancock

Hancock County, incorporated in 1789, is the “Gateway to Downeast Maine” and home to Acadia National Park, which is located on Mount Desert Island, Schoodic Point and Isle au Haut.

Acadia National Park boasts 40 miles of rocky shoreline and the only fjord on the eastern seaboard. Ellsworth, a major retail center, is the county seat of Hancock County.

This area is a popular tourist destination due to the scenic coastline, mountains, and islands, abundant outdoor recreational opportunities, and park lands.

Lumbering and ship building were important industries in Hancock County for many years.
