The city of Westbrook's pleasant small-town style and appearance
have been linked for more than a century to the Maine paper and
wood pulp industry. Today Sappi International manufactures a wide
range of products, while nearby Calpine Industries has a huge state-of-the-art
natural gas fired power plant supplying electricity to more than
500,000 homes and businesses in southern Maine. Nestled on the banks
of the Presumpscot River, which has powered many Maine paper mills
over the decades, today the River is the site of a lovely waterfront
park, with the Saccarappa Falls right in the middle of town. Incorporated
in 1891, the city is named for an early settler, Col. Thomas Westbrook.
