Aroostook County, Northeasternmost county in Maine, United States.
The largest county in Maine extends across 6,829 square miles of land, encompassing vast forests, agricultural fields, and numerous lakes and rivers.
The county was established in 1839 through the division of Penobscot and Washington counties, marking a significant step in Maine's territorial organization.
Native American heritage combines with French-Acadian traditions throughout the region, as evidenced by the bilingual communities in the Saint John Valley.
The county maintains administrative offices in three locations: Houlton, which serves as the county seat, Caribou, and Fort Kent.
Aroostook County shares land borders with two Canadian provinces and contains more square miles than Connecticut and Rhode Island combined.
