About Houlton, Maine
Houlton is a town of 6,055 people and the county seat of Aroostook County, on the border with New Brunswick. Wolastoqiyik people lived here long before Massachusetts, which then governed Maine, deeded the land to the Academy of New Salem. Thirteen New Salem men bought it from the academy, but only three of them moved here. Aaron Putnam and Joseph Houlton started the village, and it took the name of Houlton, who came north in 1807.
In 1828 the federal government built a military post here called Hancock Barracks, and in 1831 Houlton became an incorporated town. Maine sent twelve militia companies to Houlton in 1839, when the Aroostook War broke out over the Canadian boundary. Major R. M. Kirby, commanding three artillery companies at the barracks, helped keep them from starting a shooting war. In 1842 the Webster-Ashburton Treaty settled the dispute, and the Army left the barracks in 1847.
- Listening in on GermanyDuring World War I, 1.5 miles east of the town center, the Army built its first station for gathering radio intelligence from across the Atlantic. It picked up German diplomatic messages, mostly sent from the Nauen transmitter. The station worked so well that it became the model for many more long-range American listening posts.
- Calls from London in 1927On January 7, 1927, AT&T opened the first commercial telephone service across the Atlantic, between New York and London, and the receiving station stood at the end of Hand Lane, two miles west of town. Its antenna ran over three miles long and two miles wide, catching the signal from the Rugby station in England. Rugby shut down in 2007, and the housing built on its site was named Houlton in honor of the link.
- Planes towed into CanadaThe Army opened Houlton Army Air Base beside the border in 1941. Before the United States entered World War II, pilots could not fly the planes into Canada without breaking American neutrality, so farmers hitched them to their tractors and pulled them across the line. The Canadians closed the Woodstock highway and used it as a runway.
- Prisoners in the potato fieldsIn 1944 the Army turned much of the air base into Camp Houlton, which held as many as 3,700 German prisoners of war. Volunteers among them harvested peas and picked potatoes on local farms for $1 a day in scrip, and many farmers came to see them as good workers. The camp closed in 1946, and the site became Houlton International Airport.
- Last stop for the 2024 eclipseWhen the sun went dark on April 8, 2024, no place in the country farther east saw totality than Houlton. Planning for a three-day festival took the town two years, and 20,000 or more people came, over three times its population. A banner declared "The End is Here," and the masonic bust of George Washington wore giant eclipse glasses.
