Skouheagan Bridge 1816 - Stock Certificate
State(s): Maine
Massachusetts
Years: 1816
Early Stock for the Skouheagan Bridge. 2 covered bridges over the Kennebec River in an area called Skouheagan. When the nearby town was incorporated later in 1823, it did so under the name Milburn. But locals continued to call the town by its area's original name and in 1836 it was renamed Skowhegan. Notice the simplified spelling! The town was part of Massachusetts until Maine became its own state in 1820.

A stock certificate is issued by businesses, usually companies. A stock is part of the permanent finance of a business. Normally, they are never repaid, and the investor can recover his/her money only by selling to another investor. Most stocks, or also called shares, earn dividends, at the business's discretion, depending on how well it has traded. A stockholder or shareholder is a part-owner of the business that issued the stock certificates.
