Bowdoin College ( BOW-dn) is a private liberal arts college in Brunswick, Maine. When Bowdoin was chartered in 1794, Maine was still a part of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The college offers 35 majors and 40 minors, as well as several joint engineering programs with Columbia, Caltech, Dartmouth College, and the University of Maine.The college was a founding member of its athletic conference, the New England Small College Athletic Conference, and the Colby-Bates-Bowdoin Consortium, an athletic conference and inter-library exchange with Bates College and Colby College. Bowdoin has over 30 varsity teams, and the school mascot was selected as a polar bear in 1913 to honor Robert Peary, a Bowdoin alumnus who led the first successful expedition to the North Pole. Between the years 1821 and 1921, Bowdoin operated a medical school called the Medical School of Maine.The main Bowdoin campus is located near Casco Bay and the Androscoggin River.

Maine Street is the main street passing through Brunswick, Maine, United States. Laid out in 1717, it runs for around 2 miles (3.2 km), from its convergence with Main Street in Topsham in the north to a convergence with Mere Point Road and an intersection with Pleasant Hill Road in the south. The street is part of Brunswick Commercial Historic District. In 2026, Travel + Leisure magazine named Maine Street fourth in its list of America's most charming Main Streets. The Pejepscot Falls Bridge separates Brunswick and Topsham, on the northern side of the Androscoggin River's Brunswick Falls. At its northern end, Maine Street forms the starting point of U.S. Route 201 (US 201). Topsham's Main Street picks up the designation at the bridge's midpoint. At its southern extremity, Maine Street picks up the Maine State Route 24 (SR 24) designation, which it carries north to its intersection with Bath Road, beside Bowdoin College. The need for the route to bypass downtown Brunswick arose because of the low capacity of the Frank J. Wood Bridge (the predecessor to the Pejepscot Falls Bridge). Maine Street was named Twelve Rod Road prior to Maine's statehood in 1820. A rod is an imperial unit equal to 16.5 feet (5.0 m) making the width of Maine Street equal to 198 feet (60 m), one of the state's broadest main streets. Maine Street was formerly the route of the old Indian trail which led between the falls of the Androscoggin and Maquoit Bay. On June 3, 1717, by order of the Pejepscot Proprietors, construction started on the road spanning from Fort George to Maquoit Bay. From Bowdoin College south to Maquoit Bay, a mile distant, the street would be split and called Mere Point Road. U.S. Route 1 passes beneath Maine Street just south of the Pejepscot Falls Bridge, while major intersections along its route (from north to south) are Pleasant Street, Bath Road (SR 24) and Pleasant Hill Road.
