On that day, the Fort Kent blockhouse, destined to become one of the most enduring symbols of the war, was still six months away from construction at the conflu­ ence of the Fish and St. John rivers. Fort Kent did not rise out of bombast and calls to arms. It instead assumed its very strategic location gradually as Maine pushed to establish a toe-hold in the territory claimed by both Great Britain and the United States under the nebulous terms of the Treaty of Paris signed in 1783.

  • Aroostook County Historical Timeline
    Aroostook County Historical Timeline With a Focus on the Aroostook Valley Watershed Region Compiled by Justin Howe ~9,500 B.C. - ~8,000 B.C. – Known as the Paleo-Indian Period. The reason for the brevity of this period (in many areas the Paleo-Indian Period can last for tens of thousands of years) is that 9,500 B.C. is when the last glacier covering Aroostook County retreated, which is when the first human habitation of the Aroostook County area occurred. The land of Aroostook County was then tundra. The Paleo-Indian Period is characteristically marked by fluted points. ~8,000 B.C. - ~5,000 B.C. – Known as the Early Archaic Period. ~5,000 B.C. - ~500 B.C. – Known as the Middle and Late Archaic Period. Notably in Aroostook County and other areas of New England, this is the time of the Red Paint Peoples. The reason for the name is that at grave sites, bodies and grave goods were almost always covered with red ochre. Post-500 B.C. - Known as the Ceramic Period. This is due to the appearance and wide use of pottery, as well as birch bark and notched arrowheads. There is also likely the cultivation of corn and tobacco. Pre-1500 – The estimated population of the Wabanaki tribe region (Abenaki, Maliseet, Micmac, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot tribes) before European contact is approximated at about 35,000. 1534 – Jacques Cartier is the first explorer to navigate inland North America. He claims the land of Canada for France. He also trades with Micmacs of New Brunswick.

  • The Experience of Visiting the Allagash Wilderness Waterway Is Largely Defined
    The experience of visiting the Allagash Wilderness Waterway is largely defined by the forests, wildlife, and unusual features encountered along the way: bald eagles nesting in towering eastern white pines; moose and deer feeding along the edges of the watercourse; ospreys soaring overhead; loons filling the evening air with their haunting cries; views of nearby mountains and of Katahdin from the larger lakes; or the ice cave on Allagash Lake. 1B There are eight lakes and four ponds along the Allagash watercourse; well over 100 tributary brooks and streams flow into them and into the Allagash River. Telos, Chamberlain, and Eagle Lakes provide extensive storage capacity that helps maintain suitable canoeing water levels on the river north of Churchill Dam. Due to Telos and Lock Dams, a portion of the waters of Allagash, Chamberlain, and Telos Lakes flow south into the East Branch Penobscot River drainage. Prior to the creation of these dams in the mid-1800s, these headwaters flowed completely northward into the Allagash River. Today, waters from Allagash, Chamberlain, and Telos Lakes flow both northward into the Allagash River and southward into the East Branch of the Penobscot River. Allagash Lake is the most remote lake in the Waterway. Its waters are cold and well oxygenated, favoring cold-water fish species such as brook trout, lake trout, and whitefish. The north shore is shallow and sandy, inviting emergent aquatic plants as well as wading moose, deer, and great blue herons. Along the west shore are ledges of rough, colorful volcanic rock. To the east near the outlet is an unusual shoreline edged by low glaciated ledges of Seboomook Slate.
