View of North Berwick, York County, Maine, 1877, Drawn by Albert Ruger and Published by J. J. Stoner. First settled in the 1630's, the site along the Salmon Falls River was first known as Kittery Commons, part of Kittery Parish. The vessel Unity brought Scottish prisoners to the site, survivors of the Battle of Dunbar of 1650 in Scotland. Following the Scots defeat in Dunbar, Scotland, an estimated 5,000 Scottish prisoners were forced to march to Durham Cathedral in England. Only about 1,400 survived the march, and most of them were transported as slave labor to the Caribbean and New England. Among those who survived the ordeal were about 150 who earned their freedom by working at the Great Works sawmill. The town was called Unity after the ship that brought the prisoners.The town of Unity was destroyed and abandoned during a conflict between Native Americans and the English, known as King Philip’s War, considered the greatest calamity to fall upon the Puritans in the 17th Century, with nearly half of the towns destroyed and many killed. The Native American leader, Metacomet was called “King Philip” by the British. While the conflict elsewhere in New England ended with King Philip’s death at the hands of Puritan rangers in 1676, fighting in Maine continued until the signing of a treaty at Casco Bay in April 1678.The town was resettled in 1703 and named Berwick, after Berwick-upon-Tweed, England. South Berwick and North Berwick were set apart in 1814 and 1831, respectively.
