==History==
Fort Kent was erected in the summer of 1839 as an American border outpost during the undeclared Aroostook War. The blockhouse, the first structure built in what is present-day city of Fort Kent, was named after then-governor of Maine Edward Kent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fort Kent Chamber of Commerce )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Maine - Aroostook County )〕 The Saint John River was a log driving route from upstream forests to downstream sawmills and paper mills until the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad and trucks began transporting pulpwood.
