About East Millinocket

East Millinocket started out in the early 1900s as a bustling community built around the Great Northern Paper Company. Generations of families settled along the Penobscot River to work in the timber industry, creating a tight-knit, hardworking town. Even after the paper mill closed, that welcoming neighborhood feel and deep local pride remained.

Today, life in town offers a relaxed pace and easy access to Maine's vast North Woods. Kids grow up attending Opal Myrick Elementary and Schenck High School together on a single campus. For newcomers and outdoor lovers, the location is hard to beat, with Mount Katahdin and Baxter State Park right up the road for hiking, fishing, snowmobiling, and enjoying the fresh air.
