Apartments for Rent in Lewiston, ME(303 Rentals)

Forming in the late 1700s, Lewiston grew at a steady pace as a primarily farming town. The arrival of a canal system in 1850 helped spurn on firther expansion, and textile manufacturing soon replaced farming as the main industry. As railroads developed, more and more people, including a large segment of Canadians, migrated to the city in search of work. Despite an economic downturn in the textile industry through the 1950s, Lewiston experienced revitilization attempts in the later part of the century, and today the city is on an upward swing, brimming with eateries, museums and a solid local economy.
