Saco Overview

Saco, Maine has existed in some form for hundreds of years, first as a home to Native American tribes and later, to English settlers. It sits just 15 minutes away from Portland, Maine and is a part of the Portland Metro Area. Yet, with its friendly walking trails, fascinating historical sites, and small-town eateries, it exists in a world all its own.

What is the history of Saco?

Apartments in Saco are surrounded by history and beauty on all sides. According to archeological and written evidence left by French and English explorers, Saco sits on what used to be the grounds for native American villages. These existed in the 1600s and the early 1700s. Around the same time, the English began to settle the area. The English settlement eventually became one of the first of its kind in what would eventually be known as New England. Settlers truly became established in the area in the early part of the 1700s when the lumber industry as well as fishing and farming built a stronghold in the area. Originally, the towns in the area consisted of Pepperrellborough and Biddeford. Pepperrellborough eventually changed its name to Saco.

How is the weather in Saco?

Generally speaking, the weather in Saco, Maine tends to be mild to chilly. In the winter time, residents can expect to see lows in the teens and highs in the 30s. During the warmer months, low temperatures start in the lower 50s. The highs linger around the low-70s. Residents can also expect to see about 10 days of rain each month in this coastal town.

How do I get around town?

Saco does have a public transit system that includes both buses and trains. However, given the number of rental car agencies in the city, it’s safe to assume that having a car in town probably makes transportation a lot easier in terms of getting around. The bus lines run four routes that deliver residents to various destinations around town as well as dropping them off in the nearby towns of Biddeford and Old Orchard Beach (OOB). Amtrack also keeps a station in Saco, allowing travelers to visit nearby cities, like Portland and Wells.

Given that the town has a population of just over 20,000, it’s fairly safe to say that visitors won’t find big-city traffic jams in Saco for the most part.

These historical sites dot the city’s walking tour. Given the lengthy history of the town, many of its most notable sites include old homes, like the Emma Hall House.
