Town of Ludlow

Ludlow is a town in Aroostook County, incorporated on March 21, 1864 from Belfast Academy Grant Plantation, itself organized in 1840.

General John Cummings, agent for the trustees of Belfast Academy and probably the first white settler, arrived on October 8, 1826.

This half-township (New Limerick occupies the other half of the original township) lies just west of the northern portion of Houlton.

Ludlow is an agricultural community in the heart of southern Aroostook potato county. Soybean fields are an example of the continuous, historic attempts to diversify the county's farm economy.
