History

Faced with the task of naming hundreds of station stops along the High Line, Great Northern Railway officials resorted to “globe trotting.” According to one story, an official spun a globe and put his finger on Saco, Maine, thus giving the town its name. Another story tells that the name is a contraction of “Sacajawea.” For two years, Saco boasted the Guinness world record for making the world’s largest hamburger, building the 6,040-pound burger from the beef of 17 cattle in 1999.
