Description
The Fort Fairfield Exchange Hotel on Main Street in about 1915.
Because of the town's location on the Aroostook River near the New Brunswick border, Fort Fairfield was a central location during the "Aroostook War," a dispute over the boundary between New Brunswick and Maine. The boundary was settled by the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842.
