North Berwick is a town in York County, Maine, United States.

It was set off from Kittery in 1713 as part of Berwick, named for Berwick-upon-Tweed on the Anglo-Scottish border.

Doughty Falls in the Great Works River provided water power for a sawmill, gristmill and carding mill.

North Berwick became a railroad hub from which its manufactured goods were shipped, including lumber, shingles, clapboards, wooden boxes, firewood, bricks, carriages, caskets, clocks, stove and shoe polish, toboggans and sleds.

Also loaded aboard the boxcars were barrels of apples, blocks of ice cut from frozen ponds, granite from quarries, and tins of corn packed at a canning factory.

But the 2 biggest North Berwick businesses during the 19th-century made woolens and farm implements.

Its landmark Greek Revival building was used as the Parrish Shoes factory in the 1995 movie Jumanji, and has since been renovated and adapted as housing.

Bauneg Beg Hill, at an elevation of 866 feet (264 m) above sea level, is the town's highest point.

It evolved into the Hussey Manufacturing Company, which produced a variety of items including sewer grates, manhole covers, ladders, ski jumps and chair lifts.

[8] The town's other major contemporary employer is a Pratt & Whitney aircraft engine parts factory and overhaul facility.

Built as Simplex Wire & Cable, the structure was purchased and expanded by Pratt & Whitney in 1979 to cover 875,000 square feet (81,300 m2), making it the largest manufacturing plant under one roof in Maine.

North Berwick includes Bauneg Beg Pond, a recreational area.
