A Brief Timeline to Statehood
And The Creation of Maine Statehood Day:

On July 26, 1819, the citizens of Maine voted decisively in support of Maine separating from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and becoming an independent state.

The United States Congress received Maine’s petition for statehood and voted affirmatively to accept Maine as the 23rd State of the United States.

U.S. Secretary of State James Monroe notified Maine that it would formally and legally be an independent state beginning on March 15, 1820.

In 2024, Janet T. Mills, Governor of the State of Maine, proclaimed March 15 as Maine Statehood Day.

March 15, 2025, marks the 205th anniversary of the achievement of Maine statehood.
