Princes Point Road is a prominent street in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. It runs for about 1.93 miles (3.11 km) from Lafayette Street (State Route 88) in the north to Sunset Point Road in the south. It was one of the first streets laid out in the town[1] when it was centered around the Meetinghouse under the Ledge in the 18th century.[1] Gilman Road, another of the early roads in the area, intersects Princes Point Road near its northern end.
In the late 19th century, trolleycars of the short-lived Portland and Yarmouth Electric Railway passed Princes Point Road en route to Yarmouth's village center after the town's population had moved away from the Broad Cove area.[2]
Yarmouth's West Side Trail crosses Princes Point Road between Gilman Road and Morton Road.
The road is named for the Paul Prince (1720–1809), who served for Massachusetts in the American Revolutionary War.[3]
