Exeter
Exeter is a town in Penobscot County, incorporated on February 16, 1811 from township T3 R4 NWP.
The township was granted to Marblehead Academy in 1793 and was settled beginning in 1801. Dr. John Blaisdell was an early proprietor and developer and the area was known as Blaisdelltown before the town was incorporated. The new name reflected the fact that some settlers had come from Exeter, New Hampshire.
Maine combined Routes 11 and 43 zigs and zags in a generally east-west direction through the town, serving Exeter Corner and Exeter Center.
