The town of Millinocket rests at the junction where the West Branch of the Penobscot River and the Millinocket Stream converge. In 1898; settlers arrived in the area and carved a town out of the wilderness; constructing the Great Northern Paper Company; the largest paper mill in the world at that time. Utilizing the waterways; lumbermen floated the logs downriver to feed the mill and export paper around the globe. The town and mill sprang up practically overnight; built at a fevered pace to keep up with the paper demand; and gave Millinocket the nickname �Magic City in Maine�s Wilderness.� Today Millinocket is the closest town to the famous Baxter State Park and Maine�s highest peak; Mount Katahdin. As the gateway to the Allagash region; Millinocket draws tourists year-round with its numerous outdoor activities.
