Atwell's Creek is a former watercourse in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. It is named for John Atwell, who married Elizabeth Felt, daughter of Joshua.Flowing into the southern edge of Yarmouth harbor, it was used from the early 18th century to power various mills, the first being Massachusetts native Gilbert Winslow's sawmill in 1720. The creek received its nickname of Folly's Creek at this time, because Winslow's venture was expected by many people to fail, but it proved to be "a profitable concern." The creek was "a considerable watercourse then"; now, though, it is nothing more than a tidal inlet.

The Meetinghouse under the Ledge, also known as the Old Ledge Meetinghouse, was a church that stood in present-day Yarmouth, Maine, between 1729 (when the town was North Yarmouth, Province of Massachusetts Bay) and 1836 (sixteen years after Maine's admittance to the Union).

The Cutter House is an historic home at 60 Gilman Road in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. Built in 1730, over a century before today's Yarmouth was incorporated, it is the oldest extant building in the town. It was built for Ammi Ruhamah Cutter, the first minister of the now-demolished Meetinghouse under the Ledge, which stood around 150 yards (140 m) to the west, in the same strip of land between Gilman Road and Lafayette Street (Maine State Route 88), between 1729 and 1836. It stands almost directly across Gilman Road from the Pioneer Cemetery, which was established a year later. The home, the Pioneer Cemetery and the nearby Ledge Cemetery are all that remain of this early settlement.Perez B. Loring lived at the Cutter House in the mid-19th century, after it was no longer a manse.

Yarmouth Marina is a natural harbor and estuary of Casco Bay, and is located adjacent to the town of Yarmouth, Maine, United States. It is situated on the Royal River, around 0.5 miles (0.80 km) southeast of the town center, in an area known as Lower Falls. Today it functions solely as a marina. Historically a harbor, due to its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, into which the Royal River flows via Casco Bay, less than a mile away, ships were built in the harbor mainly between 1818 and the 1870s, at which point demand declined dramatically.

The Royal River is a small river, 39 miles (63 km) long, in southern Maine. The river originates in Sabbathday Lake in New Gloucester and flows northeasterly into Auburn and then southerly through New Gloucester (via the Royal River Reservoir), Gray and North Yarmouth into Casco Bay at Yarmouth. The river is bridged by Interstate 95 and U.S. Route 202 before leaving New Gloucester, then by the Maine Central Railroad "Back Road" and the Grand Trunk Railway in Auburn, and then again by the Grand Trunk Railway and by State Route 231 when it returns to New Gloucester. The river is bridged twice more by the Maine Central Back Road in Gray. In North Yarmouth, the river is bridged again by State Route 231 and by State Route 9, and in Yarmouth it is crossed by the Maine Central Railroad "Lower Road", again by the Grand Trunk Railway, by U.S. Route 1 and, at its mouth, by State Route 88 (carried by the East Main Street Bridge) and, finally, Interstate 295. The Native Americans called the river Westcustogo River (meaning muddy) or Pumgustuck River (falls at mouth of river).During the 1700s and 1800s, Yarmouth River, as it was then known, was a source of great economic growth for Yarmouth as it provided the power for the many mills. One such mill was erected in 1872 by the Forest Paper Company on the current site of the Royal River Park. The river is mentioned in several of Maine-native Stephen King's novels, including The Body, when the boys cross the Royal River, only to be attacked by leeches, as well as 'Salem's Lot and Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. The McKin Company Superfund site was within the Royal River watershed.

Hose No. 2 is a former fire station in the Lower Falls area of Yarmouth, Maine, United States. Built around 1889, seven years before the town's first fire hydrants were installed, it stands in a wedge-shaped plot of land separating Main Street and Marina Road at what was formerly known as Staples Hill (named for Bethiah Staples, who lived at nearby 63 Main Street). By 1901, the town had "two hose companies of fifteen men each" and a hook and ladder company of ten men. A system of fire alarms, consisting of eight boxes, were in the process of being installed.

It stands across the Royal River from Grist Mill Park, which was the site of several mills in the 17th century. In the 18th century, it was the site of James Craig's sawmill. In 1911, Yarmouth Manufacturing Company's electric power plant was built at the location. Later businesses on this side included a fishing, hunting and camping equipment store and Industrial Wood Products. In the present-day building are F. M. Beck, C. A.
