- Description
- The City of Bangor now has a resident population of about twenty thousand. Yet as the shire town of a county embracing some seventy-five thousand inhabitants; as the trade center and shipping point for a large and rich agricultural section and for many thriving industrial communities; as a point of convergence for numerous important railway and steamship lines, and a consequent tarrying place for great numbers of tourists, sportsmen and commercial travelers; these together with the busy commerce of its port, the metropolitan character of its hotels and the compactness of its business section, give to the city a much more populous appearance than the above figures would indicate.
