Maine: From District to Statehood

Maine Constitutional Convention

After a vote was held on the Act of Separation and approved in July 1819, a constitutional convention was held in Portland beginning on October 11, 1819. Delegates from across the State were sent to Portland to do this work and the draft was finished later that month. After the draft was approved by the delegates it had to be approved by a vote of the people of Maine. In December, Maine’s people approved the Constitution. A print of the first copy of the new Constitution can be viewed in the atrium.
