Houlton, County seat in Aroostook County, Maine, United States.
The Meduxnekeag River divides the town into northern and southern sections, creating natural boundaries within the incorporated 36.73 square miles of land.
Founded in 1807 by settlers Aaron Putnam and Joseph Houlton, the town became a strategic location during the 1839 Aroostook War border disputes.
The annual Houlton Agricultural Fair brings together farmers, craftspeople, and residents to showcase regional agricultural products and traditional practices.
The northern terminus of Interstate 95 connects through Houlton, providing direct access to southern Maine and the rest of the eastern United States.
During World War I, Houlton housed the first United States transatlantic radio intelligence station, intercepting German diplomatic communications for military purposes.
