Maine State District Tartan Tartan Number: 502. Earliest known date: 1965 Maine tartan is the oldest of America's tartans. It was woven by the Maine Spinning Company which has now gone out of business. When the tartan was first introduced it was reported in the Glasgow Herald (30.12.65) that it had been 'duly accredited by the State of Maine'. The State archives, however, are unable to locate the authorization. It is now marketed by the Maine Tartan and Tweed company, who hold the copyright.
