Prouts Neck
Prouts Neck is a coastal peninsula, located within the town of Scarborough, in southwestern Maine.
==History==
Prouts Neck first appears on a map by Samuel de Champlain from his 1604 explorations of New England. In early times it was known as Black Point because of the dark appearance of its forests. Captain Thomas Cammock, a nephew of the Earl of Warwick was the first European settler of present day Prouts Neck. In 1631, he was granted an area of about 1500 acres by the Plymouth Council for New England which had jurisdiction, granted by the King, over all of New England. Ownership passed through several early families and settled for a time with Timothy Prout, a Boston merchant, who lived there from 1728 to 1768. The name Prout’s Neck became well established, but by 1830 the Libby family had purchased most of the Neck and the name became Libby’s Neck till the late 1870s, by which time most of the Libby land had been sold off to members of the growing summer community and the name reverted to Prouts Neck (more often written without the apostrophe).
Prouts Neck is known also for artist Winslow Homer (1836–1910). The Winslow Homer Studio there, overlooking Cannon Rock, is a National Historic Landmark.〔(Black Point Inn History )〕
