Orient
Orient is a town in Aroostook County, formally organized as a town from the township T9 R1, Monroe Gore and Orient Gore on April 9, 1856.
The name derives from its eastern location adjoining New Brunswick. Its eastern point lunges into Grand Lake and North Lake on the Canadian border, accessible by the Boundary Road. Sunset Park and other camping areas are attractive vacation locations.
Orient's population peaked at 244 in 1890. It is located on U.S. Route 1 just north of Danforth in southernmost Aroostook County.
