We find that KITTERY IS A TOWN IN YORK COUNTY, MAINE. The name KITTERY goes way back to early 1600. The "Oldest town in Maine" was incorporated in 1647. WIKIPEDIA tells the story of "Kittery" the seaside district, which includes Seavey's Island, Badger's Island, part of the Isles of Shoals. Kittery is home to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard on Seavey Island. The town of Kittery also includes the Census-designated place (CDP) of Kittery Point.

Kittery Point first settled in 1623, and traces its history to the first seafarers who colonized the shore of what became the Massachusetts Bay Colony and later the State of Maine. It is home to "Fort McClary" State Historic Site, and "Fort Foster Park" on Gerrish Island,. Cutts Island is home to Seapoint Beach and the Brave Boat Harbor Division of the "Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge" .
