I'm curious why multiple contributors are against a media section for North Yarmouth. Similar sections are included on the pages of surrounding towns. (See Yarmouth, Falmouth, Portland, etc.) North Yarmouth, despite its size, sees a great deal of press coverage, particularly from The Community Leader, The Northern Forecaster and The Notes. The Portland Press Herald also covers the town regularly. Any thoughts on why North Yarmouth should be treated in a different fashion that other surrounding towns? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mainenews (talk • contribs) 23:12, 18 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

"About 1680 the Spaniards landed on the islands [the Bahamas] with a large force... Many of the better class of settlers went to Boston with their families, and were given land to settle on in Casco Bay, near Falmouth, now Portland, where they found the present town of North Yarmouth, their descendants can be found there at the present time. A full account of these settlers is given in the chapter on Eleuthera [Massachusetts Archives. Usurpation, Vol. 126, page 387]"
