Before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth there were French and English trading posts on Cross Island (in neighboring Cutler) as well as Birch Point, now known as Clarks Point.

The settlement occurred after extensive fires in western Maine in the 1760s forced families to seek out hay and timber lands.
