Easton
Easton is a town in Aroostook County, incorporated on February 24, 1865 from Freemont Plantation.
Easton is a farming community southeast of Presque Isle, served by U.S. Route 1 and Maine Route 10. While potatoes dominate, other crops and the occasional horse farm balance the agricultural economy.
Now the major industrial elements of the towns economy include huge wood and food processing plants. The McCain Foods, U.S.A. facility employs about 1,500 workers in preparing, processing, packaging, and shipping food products.
The J. M. Huber Corporation's Engineered Woods plant dominates the landscape in the industrial area it shares with McCain Foods.
