History

Presque Isle was named an "All American City" in 1966. However, during the last 30 years of the 19th century, agriculture became important, and the entire county became noted for its production of potatoes. The first industry to form in Presque Isle was the lumber industry. Sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and other local organizations, it is held in late August. The field from which the 'Double Eagle II' lifted off now features a memorial model balloon.
