Northern Maine is relatively young.

In the case of Houlton Maine, Joseph Houlton cruised in just after the turn of the century in the early 1800's. The towns around Houlton are all pretty much square..6 miles by 6 miles with a exception of New Limerick, Ludlow and Cary Plantation which are 3 miles by 6 miles. Unlike southern Maine which is much older and different shaped as the large tracts became smaller out parcels as folks developed the area, northern Maine is square, very logical and straight forward in the layout of the local real estate. Houlton Maine to the east, is right on the Canadian border with New Brunswick, the gateway to the Atlantic provinces.

    

Bordering Houlton Maine on the north is Littleton, on the west New Limerick and Ludlow and to the south, Hodgdon.

The Houlton Maine school district of SAD 29 serves Houlton, Littleton, Monticello and Hammond Plantation. The population of Houlton is roughly 6700 and the bedroom communities around it have much smaller populations. The major shopping and industrial sector for Southern Aroostook County is in Houlton, the county seat. Aroostook County is the largest of Maine's 16 counties. For more on the Houlton Maine area.

Local youth help the Maine potato farmer harvest the crop, learning work ethic and earning money to help their family budgets at the same time.
