Welcome to Lubec Sign

Lubec, Maine is a historic coastal town that holds the distinction of being the easternmost point in the continental United States. Initially inhabited by indigenous tribes, European settlement began in the 17th century, leading to its official incorporation as a town in 1811. Throughout the 19th century, Lubec flourished as a maritime center, thriving on fishing, shipbuilding, and international trade. The decline of maritime industries in the early 20th century was followed by a renewal focused on tourism and preserving the town's heritage. (Submitted by Shirley Beauchemin Thurston)
