About Fort Kent, Maine
In the summer of 1839, during the Aroostook War, a boundary fight between Maine and New Brunswick, Americans built a border outpost here and named it for Edward Kent, then Maine's governor. The Webster-Ashburton Treaty settled the dispute in 1842, and the town that grew up around the fort was incorporated in 1869.
For decades the Saint John floated logs cut in the upriver forests to the mills, both sawmills and paper mills. Later the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad and trucks took over the pulpwood trade. Farming, especially potatoes, along with forestry and textiles, kept the town working. Fort Kent stays close to Clair and Saint-François-de-Madawaska across the river, and up to 33.7% of residents age 5 and older speak French at home, a variety known locally as Valley French or Brayon.
- The blockhouse of 1839The blockhouse was the first building put up in what is now the village. It stands just west of the mouth of the Fish River, with cedar walls and an upper floor that juts out past the lower one under a pyramid-shaped roof. It is preserved today as Fort Kent State Historic Site, and it was named a National Historic Landmark in 1973.
- Where U.S. Route 1 beginsU.S. Route 1 begins in Fort Kent, close to the international bridge to Clair, and runs 2,369 miles south to Key West, Florida. Paddlers know the town from the other direction, because the Northern Forest Canoe Trail ends here.
- The Can-Am Crown since 1993The first Can-Am Crown sled dog race ran on Tuesday, February 16, 1993, with nine teams from Maine, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario. In 1994 sixteen teams ran the 250-mile race and eleven ran a new 60-mile race. A 30-mile race came in 1997, when the first Saturday in March became the start date. Teams leave Main Street, pass beneath the international bridge into the Allagash wilderness and finish in town.
- The flood of 2008After nearly 200 inches of snow in the winter of 2007 to 2008 and almost two days of steady rain, the Saint John began flooding on April 29. It rose to nearly 31 feet, 6 feet over flood stage, and poured downtown. More than 600 of the 4,233 residents had to evacuate. Governor John Baldacci flew from Augusta, saw the damage and declared a state of emergency.
- A ploye 12 feet acrossThe Ploye Festival honors the valley's buckwheat pancake, and its big event is cooking the world's largest ploye, which has reached 12 feet across. Friends and family of Bouchard Family Farm, maker of the mix, heat the pan over about fifteen bags of charcoal and stir about fifty pounds of mix in five-gallon pails. Five people carry the batter and four spread it quickly. The ploye is then buttered with brushes and shared with hundreds of spectators.
