Perry
Perry is a town in Washington County incorporated on February 12, 1818 from Plantation T1 TS.
The first European settler, John Frost, established a trading post on the St. Croix River, the town's eastern boundary along with Passamaquoddy Bay.
Named for Commodore Oliver H. Perry, a naval hero of the War of 1812, the town was incorporated even as the British still held Eastport only six miles away.
Perry is the gateway, via Maine Route 190, to the Pleasant Point Passamaquoddy Indian Reservation and the City of Eastport.
