History

Around 1824, settlers began arriving from New Brunswick and settled on the north side of the Aroostook River. Its population began to decline soon thereafter, a result of difficulties in its traditional potato industry. From Eaton Plantation and part of half-township H, Caribou was incorporated on April 5, 1859 as the town of Lyndon. The dispute over the international boundary delayed settlement of the area until after the signing of the Webster-Ashburton Treaty in 1842. In 1808, Captain William Eaton (soldier) Eaton was deeded these same 10,000 acres (40 km²) as a reward for his heroic victory over the Barbary Pirates.
