When did Maine split from Mass?

Maine became a state in 1820, but we started as a separate colony in the early 1600s and always existed as our own province even while we were part of Massachusetts.

It was the District of Maine, sometimes called just “the District.” After the separation Massachusetts still owned a great deal of Maine land.
