The city is also home to Sappi Limited, the Westbrook Paper Mill and R&D Center. Formerly known as the S. D.

Westbrook was originally known as Saccarappa (after Saccarappa Falls on the Presumpscot River), and it was a part of Falmouth (now Portland) until 1814, when it was incorporated as Stroudwater. Soon after, the name was changed to Westbrook as a tribute to Colonel Thomas Westbrook, a commander during Dummer's War, and in 1891, Westbrook was incorporated as a city.
