Residents also figure into the Lewiston – Auburn Metropolitan Statistical Area, home to nearly 65,000 people. Census 2000 data records Auburn’s population as 23,690. Lewiston lies two miles across the Androscoggin River from Auburn, 30 miles from Portland and 34 miles from Augusta. Other inviting cities within a short driving distance include Bangor, Biddeford, Rockland, South Portland and Waterville.

These include Central Maine Medical Center, Country Kitchen – Lepage Bakery, Saint Mary’s Health System, the Sun Journal, WalMart Distribution Center and the U.S. headquarters of Diamond Phoenix. In 2007, the National Civic League honored Lewiston with the All-America City Award.
