 | | BAR HARBOR, a well-known summer resort of Hancock county, Maine, U.S.A., an unincorporated village, in the township of Eden, on Frenchmans Bay, on the E. side of Mount Desert Island, about 45 m. |
 | | The name Bar Harbor, which displaced East Eden, was suggested by the bar which appears at low water between it and Bar Island. |
 | | Although the first summer hotel was built here in 1855, Bar Harbors development as a summer resort began about 1870, after some artists had visited the place, and made it widely known through their pictures. |
