Presque Isle

Presque Isle has served as an agricultural and service centre in northern Maine since the 19th century. In Aroostook County, the city lies within the upper Aroostook River watershed, and Presque Isle Stream runs through its built-up area. Potato cultivation has long shaped the local economy, linking Presque Isle to the broad farming country known locally as “the County.” The University of Maine at Presque Isle, founded in 1903 as a teachers’ training school, remains a key local institution. Presque Isle International Airport occupies the site of the former Presque Isle Air Force Base.
