What is the history of Lewiston?

Forming in the late 1700s, Lewiston grew at a steady pace as a primarily farming town. The arrival of a canal system in 1850 helped spurn on firther expansion, and textile manufacturing soon replaced farming as the main industry. As railroads developed, more and more people, including a large segment of Canadians, migrated to the city in search of work. Despite an economic downturn in the textile industry through the 1950s, Lewiston experienced revitilization attempts in the later part of the century, and today the city is on an upward swing, brimming with eateries, museums and a solid local economy.

Dozens of nearby structures find themselves on the Nation Registry of Historic Sites, including the Bradford House, Lyceum Hall and the famed Grand Trunk Railroad station.
