Auburn-lewiston, ME USA (KLEW / LEW)

Lewiston was settled in 1770 and officially incorporated in 1795. At least four houses that existed in 1795 in Lewiston have survived to the present and are currently designated “Historic Buildings” by the national registry. In 1809, Michael Little built a large wooden sawmill next to the falls. Burned in 1814 by an arsonist it was later rebuilt. In 1836, local entrepreneurs – predominantly the Little family and friends – formed the Androscoggin Falls, Dam, Lock and Canal Company “for the purpose of erecting and constructing dams, locks, canals, mills, works, machines, and buildings on their own lands and also manufactureing cotton, wool, iron, steel, and paper in the towns of Lewiston, Minot, and Danville”.[1] Later reorganized as the Lewiston Water Power Company the new sales of stock attracted Boston investors – including Thomas J. Hill, Lyman Nichols, George L. Ward, Alexander De Witt, and Benjamin E. Bates – who financed a canal system and several textile mills on the Androscoggin river, beginning Lewiston’s transformation from a small community into a hub of textile production.

Today Lewiston is once again a hub, with the likes of companies like Twin Cities commited to safety, efficiency and comfort as an air charter company that has been proudly been serving Maine for decades.
