| Downtown Fort Kent is unique in its charm and character with its cozy shops and restaurants. Streets are lined with lampposts and park benches that lend to the quaintness of the town. The village is along the St. John River which is also the boundary between America and Clair, New Brunswick, Canada. It is home to French Acadian ancestors and you can hear the bilingual influence in the lilt of the voices of its people. |
The logging and agricultural industires are predominant in the region, and the community is fortunate to have The University of Maine at Fort Kent, a small public institution within the University of Maine System. Additionally, Northern Maine Medical Center is a valued resource and employer to the residents of the St. John Valley. Fort Kent is a warm and spirited community, offering hospitality, natural beauty and lots of interesting things to do.
