Augusta
About 19,000 people.
Augusta is the capital of Maine, which means the state's leaders make important decisions here. It sits on the Kennebec River and holds the grand State House.
You can tour the tall-domed State House, explore old Fort Western by the river, and learn cool facts at the Maine State Museum.
