Bordered by Bangor to the south and Orono to the north, Veazie enjoys a reputation as a small community that highly prizes education for its students and a quiet lifestyle for its 1,600 residents.
Most people who live here work in Bangor or Orono, but return home to a town that’s sandwiched between river and forest.
1786 was a noteworthy year for the Penobscot Nation, as that was the year they traded with Massachusetts most of the State of Maine. In return, they received close to 140 islands on the Penobscot River; adjacent to the City of Old Town.
The Island is connected to the Mainland with a bridge. The island is well known for its beauty and historical prominence.
Located between the communities of Brewer and Bucksport, Orrington also lies nestled along the Penobscot River, with scenic vistas along the major highway.
Incorporated in 1788, the community once included the present City of Brewer and the Town of Holden. There are many acres of parks, trails and llake views.
Home of the University of Maine, Orono has it all. Located around the Stillwater and the Penobscot Rivers, Orono offers its 10,500+ residents (including university students) something for everyone. There is a thriving downtown and a wide variety of outdoor recreations.
For those outdoor enthusiasts there are hiking, skiing and biking trails on over 200 acres of reserved greenspace with a quarter mile of the shopping district. The Penobscot Valley Country Club is one of the most beautiful 18-hole courses in the State.
