While most Civil War regiments were created with men from one geographical region, the 20th Regiment Infantry, Maine Volunteers was formed in August 1862 to absorb the overflow of volunteers.
Its members came together from across the state, in response to President Abraham Lincoln's call in July 1862 for 300,000 volunteers.
