Enfield
Enfield is a town in Penobscot County, incorporated on January 31, 1835 from a portion of Treat's Tract, a grant held by the Treat family of Bangor. John Treat, Senior, came to Enfield in 1823, jus a few years after the earliest settlers arrived in about 1819 or 1820. He established a mill and became a prominent local citizen.
Henry David Thoreau traveled through the town in 1846 on his way to Mount Katahdin.
The town is located on the east side of the Penobscot River opposite the point where the Piscataquis River joins it. Cold Stream Pond dominates the eastern reaches of the town.
U.S. Route 2 running north from Brewer to southern Aroostook County, the old river road or military road, passes through the town at the village of West Enfield.
