Houlton in state of Maine
Houlton is a town in Aroostook County, Maine , on the United States-Canada border, located at 46.13ﾰ N 67.84ﾰ W . As of the 2000 census , the town population was 6,476. It is perhaps best known as being at the northern terminus of Interstate 95 and for being the birthplace of Samantha Smith .
Houlton is the county seat for Aroostook County, and as such its nickname is the "Shire Town" and the Houlton High School sports teams are named "The Shiretowners". The Meduxnekeag River flows through the heart of the town, and the border with the Canadian province of New Brunswick is three miles east of the town's center. Houlton was the home of Ricker College which closed in 1978.
The town was settled by and named for Joseph Houlton , who immigrated from Massachusetts in 1805 . In 1828, the U.S. government established a military post, the Hancock barracks, and Houlton was officially incorporated as a town in 1831 . In 1839, when the Aroostook War flared up, Houlton was manned by three companies of the 1 st Artillery Regiment under Major R. M. Kirby. Major Kirby helped to restrain the twelve companies of militia that Maine sent there from starting a shooting war. The post was abandoned in 1847, five years after the Webster-Ashburton Treaty settled the boundary dispute. [1]
On January 7, 1927, AT&T initiated the first transatlantic commercial telephone service; linking New York and London. AT&T's receiver site was located at the end of Hand Lane, two miles west of the town center. The massive receiving antenna, over three miles long and two miles wide; straddled what is now I-95, four miles west of the town center. The receiver site worked with the massive long wave transmitting facility at RCA Radio Central in Rocky Point, New York . The AT&T facility on Hand Lane received the long wave signal from the British General Post Office's transmitter site in Rugby, England.
This article describes the town as a whole. Additional demographic detail for the central settlement is available, although the values are also included in the aggregate values in this article. See: Houlton (CDP) .
