Smyrna
Smyrna is a town in Aroostook County incorporated on March 7, 1839 from township T6 R3. It was first settled in 1830 by Nehemiah Leavitt, a Methodist minister from Royalton, Vermont.
Named for a famous city in ancient Turkey, the town is west of Houlton on Interstate 95 and on U.S. Route 2, where the village of Smyrna Mills straddles the town line with Merrill.
Here Maine Route 212 from Knowles Corner in the town of Merrill to the north joins Route 2, near where the Mattawamkeag River flows through the village.
The town has become home to a substantial number of Amish people, who farm and work using simple, low technology methods.
