Monticello
Monticello is a town in Aroostook County, settled in 1830 and incorporated on July 29, 1846 from Monticello Plantation.
Originally known as Wellington Plantation for its first owner, General Joel Wellington of Albion, the name was changed on incorporation in honor of President Thomas Jefferson's estate.
Located about twelve miles north of Houlton, Monticello was first linked to that town when a road was cut in 1833. Now, U.S. Route 1 provides that link though the surrounding potato growing countryside.
