History
The Town of Rumford was incorporated on February 21, 1800. The town boasts the “Great Falls”, highest east of the Niagara Falls, which has always been a focal point of Western Maine. Also we have an Information Center that overlooks the Penacook Falls and is run by the Chamber of Commerce. The Information Center services tourists and residents with general information about the area and local businesses. Rumford is also home to the Black Mountain Ski Area, which has hosted national and world cup events. The Moontide Water Festival is held every 4th of July, which features the largest fireworks display in the state of Maine. On average 45,000 to 50,000 attend this spectacular event. Rumford features an art gallery in the downtown district called The Pennacook Art Center, named after Rumford's original name "New Pennacook."
