Excerpt from The Scarboro Register, 1905

The town of Scarboro, which was the sixth in the state to have a town organization, was, durinothe seven teeth and the early part of the eighteenth centuries, one of the principal business centers of the Province of Maine.

This town is situated in the sonth-west corner of Cumberland County, upon the sea-coast, from which it extends into the interior about eight miles. The "Beach" in this town is one of the much-resorted-to places on the coast of Maine and affords excellent opportunities for surf-bathing, as well as other attractions incident to life in the coast towns during the hot summer months. The sea view is fine here being unobstructed by islands.

The general surface of Scarboro is flat, though in the north-western part of the town the hills rise to a considerable elevation.
