Where the Mattawamkeag meets the Penobscot
Mattawamkeag grew up where the Mattawamkeag River joins the Penobscot, and its village lies in the southwestern part of town. The Mattawamkeag River starts in Haynesville and runs south and west to its mouth here. Mattawamkeag was incorporated in 1860.
The town’s history follows the railroad. The European & North American Railway reached Mattawamkeag from Bangor in 1869, and by October 1871 the line ran on to Vanceboro and through to Saint John, New Brunswick. In 1889 the International Railway of Maine arrived from Megantic, Quebec, and Canadian Pacific’s running rights east to Vanceboro put Mattawamkeag on that company’s transcontinental line from Saint John to Vancouver.
A homestead on Main Street
George W. Smith built his Italianate house on Main Street in 1874. His father, Asa Smith, was one of the town’s early settlers, ran a store and served in the state legislature, and George carried on the store and served for many years as postmaster. The George W. Smith Homestead is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Basketball coach Steve Clifford grew up in Mattawamkeag until the third grade, when he moved to Vermont. He went on to become head coach of the Charlotte Hornets and the Orlando Magic.
