Fort Kent

Built around a U.S. Army post established during the Aroostook boundary dispute, Fort Kent grew into a northern Maine town at the confluence of the Fish and Saint John rivers. The Saint John forms the international boundary here, with New Brunswick on the opposite bank. Acadian heritage remains central to local identity, reflected in the region’s French-speaking traditions and in the University of Maine at Fort Kent. The preserved 1839 Fort Kent Blockhouse recalls the tense border era that gave the town its name.
