Kennebunk, ME - Gooch Beach Is a Real Place in Kennebunk

Welcome to Kennebunk, Maine, "the only town in the world so named".  First settled in 1621, the town first flourished as a trading, shipping and shipbuilding port.  Originally the town was part of the towns of Wells and Arundel, but was incorporated in 1820 as Kennebunk.  The town has become a popular summer tourist destination in modern times, but still retains much of its original charm.  The headquarters of Tom's of Maine is located in town along with a number of other manufacturers.  There are a number of examples of early architecture in the town including the Wedding Cake House.  We hope you enjoy our visit to this charming little town.Small Town News--whose headline is it, anyway? @SmallTownNewsImprov
