In 1791, settlers from the area decided to incorporate into a town. The Reverend Seth Noble promoted the name Sunbury, and went to Boston with the settlers' petition (at the time, Maine was part of Massachusetts). It is said that Noble was whistling a hymn written by William Tans'ur called Bangor when the Boston official asked him what he wanted the town's name to be. Noble, thinking that the official was asking him the name of the hymn, replied "Bangor". To many people, this story seems extremely unlikely. In the 19th century, Bangor was a center of the timber and logging business and at one point late in the century was said to be the richest city per capita in the world. Many of the timber barons of the time lived in elaborate Victorian houses that still stand on West Broadway. The city is home to author Stephen King, who lives in one of those ornate houses. It is noteworthy for its large number of substantial old churches, as well as its imposing canopy of shade trees. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
