Maine has a unique lobstering tradition: Lobstering is a way of life in Maine, and it has been for generations. Lobstering was once considered a lowly profession, but now it is a highly respected and lucrative industry. Maine lobsters are renowned for their sweet flavor and are considered a delicacy around the world.
Piscataquis County, located in the state of Maine, has a rich history that spans many centuries. The area was originally inhabited by Indigenous peoples, namely the Penobscot and Passamaquoddy tribes, who relied on the region's abundant natural resources for their sustenance. European settlers began arriving in the 17th century, with English explorers claiming the area in the name of the English Crown.

In the early 19th century, Piscataquis County experienced significant growth and development. The town of Dover (now called Dover-Foxcroft) was settled in 1803 and became the county seat. Its location along the Piscataquis River made it an important center for the lumber industry, which boomed in the late 1800s. Sawmills were established, and the county's vast forests were harvested for their timber, which was used in construction and shipbuilding.

The development of railroads in the late 19th century further contributed to Piscataquis County's growth. The Bangor and Piscataquis Railroad connected the region to larger markets, facilitating the transport of timber, goods, and people. This led to the establishment of more towns and villages along the rail line, such as Milo and Brownville Junction.

However, the decline of the timber industry in the early 20th century had a significant impact on Piscataquis County. As the demand for lumber decreased and forests became depleted, many sawmills closed down and the population declined. Today, the county's economy is more diversified, with industries such as tourism, agriculture, and healthcare playing a significant role.

Overall, Piscataquis County's history reflects the interconnectedness between natural resources, settlement, and economic development. From its Indigenous roots to the rise and fall of the timber industry, the county's past continues to shape its present and future.
