Maine Insurance
Maine, the Pine Tree State, is one of the New England states, bordered on the south by the Gulf of Maine, part of the Atlantic Ocean. The Saint John and St Francis rivers border the state on the north and the St Croix River is a part of Maine’s south-eastern boundary, while the Salmon Falls River partly borders the state to the south-west. A peninsula in the south-east, called West Quoddy Head, is the easternmost point of the United States.
Maine was separated from Massachusetts and entered the Union in March 1820, to become the 23rd state. In the 19th century, manufacturing became more important in the economy of Maine. Today, tourism is an important industry, as well as fisheries, especially lobster. A large part of the pulp for paper-making in the nation as well as timber comes from Maine. Insurance is a part of the economy of Maine including Maine auto insurance, Maine life insurance, Maine health insurance, and Maine Home Insurance. With the dominance of such industries in the state, employers are required to provide adequate Main health insurance and Maine life insurance in the state.
With an area of 33,741 square miles, including many offshore islands, the geography of Maine consists of three major regions. These are the Seaboard Lowland, the New England Upland, and the White Mountains. The Seaboard Lowland, along the coast is a rolling landscape with many bays and estuaries as well as Mount Desert Island, the largest island in the state. The New England Upland makes up most of Maine with higher elevations in the White Mountains region. Maine has above 5,000 swift flowing rivers and streams, and over 2,000 lakes and ponds. There are three climate zones in Maine. The coastal zone has a maritime climate, the northern interior zone has continental climate, and the southern interior zone is the warmest part of the state. Due to the state’s location on the Atlantic Ocean, the state is also prone to drastic weather changes and storms that develop off the coast of the state, prompting residents to insure their assets through various Maine home insurance and Maine auto insurance policies.
Maine has 1,321,574 inhabitants made up of people of Caucasian, African American and Native American, descent including the Penobscot and the Passamaquoddy Native American groups. Other ethnic groups include Latino, Chinese, Filipino, Korean, and Vietnamese. A substantial number are also of French-Canadian origin. Major cities include capital Augusta, Portland, Bangor, Auburn, and South Portland. |
