Town of Kenduskeag

Kenduskeag is a town in Penobscot County, incorporated on February 20, 1852 from portions of Levant and Glenburn.

Both the town, and the stream of the same name that passes through it, share the Maliseet name Kenduskeag meaning eel weir place. Samuel de Champlain witnesses Indians trapping eels here in 1604 as he explored the upper navigable reaches of the Penobscot River.
