An Introduction to Lubec

This quaint fishing village lies in Washington County, close to the Canadian border. First settled around 1775, it became a center of industry for shipbuilders, fishermen, and tanneries. It was even home to a thriving smuggling trade at one time!

As the years went by, the town's population grew, and in the early 20th century, the town began serving as a retreat for visitors from the United States and Canada.

The town holds the distinction of being the most easterly settlement in all of the United States!
