Scarborough is a coastal resort town in Cumberland County. In about 1630, John V. Stratton opened a trading post on Stratton Island in Saco Bay off Scarborough’s shore. In 1631, the Plymouth Council for New England granted the “Black Point Patent” to Captain Thomas Cammock, nephew of the Earl of Warwick. Cammock built a house and began residence in 1635 on the 1,500-acre tract of land, which extended from the Spurwink River to Black Point – today this area is known as Prouts Neck. While on a voyage to the West Indies, in 1643, Thomas Cammock died in Barbados. Having no heirs, his patent was conveyed to his wife, Margaret Cammock. Settlements developed at Black Point, Blue Point (i.e., Pine Point), Dunstan (i.e., West Scarborough) and Stratton Island. By 1650, there were fifty homes. The town offered excellent fishing and farming. On July 14, 1658, the Massachusetts General Court incorporated them all as Scarborough, named for Scarborough in Yorkshire, England.

It’s no secret that Scarborough has a rich history but it’s also a tourist destination. Make sure your camera is charged since you’ll want to take home the beautiful views when you visit Higgins Beach, Pine Point Beach, Ferry Beach, and Scarborough Beach State Park. Visit Black Point Cemetery, also. Some graves date back to the 1700s! Definitely stop at Len Libby for not only amazing chocolate and confections but to see Lenny, the world’s only life-size chocolate moose. You read that right. Also, saltwater taffy, vanilla caramels, chocolate covered orange peel – we could go on and on but just talking about it is making us gain weight, so we’ll stop there. Don’t fill up on candy just yet. For dinner, you’ll want to head over to O’Reilly’s Cure Restaurant & Bar. We suggest the poutine (add corned beef – you won’t be sorry) and then the Bangers and Mash. Save room for the pazookie! Year round, people flock to Scarborough to enjoy everything it has to offer, but unfortunately, so do pests. While these bugs and rodents provide benefits to the eco-system in Scarborough, they can also be a serious problem at homes and businesses. That’s when a professional pest control expert should be called in.
