Which state known for its clams and lobster part of the Associated Grocers of New England: ?
Maine Maine ( ) is the northernmost state in the New England region of the northeastern United States. Maine is the 39th most extensive and the 41st most populous of the U.S. states and territories. It is bordered by New Hampshire to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the southeast, and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Quebec to the northeast and northwest respectively. Maine is the easternmost state in the contiguous United States, and the northernmost east of the Great Lakes. It is known for its jagged, rocky coastline; low, rolling mountains; heavily forested interior, and picturesque waterways; and also its seafood cuisine, especially clams and lobster. There is a humid continental climate throughout the state, even in coastal areas such as its most populous city of Portland. The capital is Augusta.
Androscoggin River The Androscoggin River is a river in the U.S. states of Maine and New Hampshire, in northern New England. It is 178 mi long and joins the Kennebec River at Merrymeeting Bay in Maine before its water empties into the Gulf of Maine on the Atlantic Ocean. Its drainage basin is 3530 sqmi in area. The name "Androscoggin" comes from the Eastern Abenaki term "/aləssíkɑntəkw/" or "/alsíkɑntəkw/", meaning "river of cliff rock shelters" (literally "thus-deep-dwelling-river"); or perhaps from Penobscot "/aləsstkɑtəkʷ/", meaning "river of rock shelters". The Anglicization of the Abenaki term is likely an analogical contamination with the colonial governor Edmund Andros.
