The area was first explored by members of the ill-fated Popham Colony in September 1607. It was first inhabited by English settlers from the Plymouth Colony in 1625 as a trading post. The settlement was located on the Kennebec River at highest tidal eddy. Around that time, it was given the name "Cushnoc" (or "Coussinoc" or "Koussinoc"). The oldest wooden fort in America is located on the Kennebec River in Augusta. The fort was built in 1754 and is called Fort Western.
The area was incorporated as part of the town called Hallowell in 1771. In February 1797, the upstream area of Hallowell know as "the Fort" was incorporated as a separate town called Harrington. However, the name was changed to "Augusta" in August of that year.
