Jonesport's story is deeply intertwined with the sea and the spirit of its people. Originally inhabited by the Passamaquoddy Tribe, with landmarks like Moose-a-bec Reach still bearing testament to their presence, the area saw its first European settlers around 1763. What was once part of the 'Common Wealth of Massachusetts,' officially became Jonesport on February 3, 1832, separating from The Reach. This growth established Jonesport as the largest coastal settlement in the region. The town's prosperity has always been linked to the natural resources, from the woods and bogs to the rich bounty of the shoreline and ocean. Jonesporters are known for their strong work ethic and pride in providing for their families, a tradition that continues to shape the community today. Luella Joy Littlefield chronicled this history in the 1932 'Jonesport-By-the-Sea,' part of Jonesport's Centennial Celebration Program.
