Levant
Levant is a town in Penobscot County, incorporated on June 14, 1813 from township T2 R3 NWP. In 1852 it gave up land, as did Glenburn, to create the town of Kenduskeag. The general area had been known as Kenduskeag Plantation in the 18th century.
The first settler was Joseph Clark, a Revolutionary War refugee from Nova Scotia, who arrived in 1789. Some settlers came from the Levant Plateau region of Nova Scotia, thus the name.
In the 1990-2000 decade it was one of the fastest growing towns in the area with population growing by more than 25%.
