Town of Pembroke

Pembroke is a town in Washington County, settled in 1770 and incorporated on February 4, 1832 from a portion of Dennysville.

Pembroke's Leighton Neck extends into Cobscook Bay and is bounded by the broad expanses of the Dennys River and the Pennamaquan River. Reversing Falls State Park is nearby.

The main village straddles the latter river near the intersection of U.S. Route 1 and Maine Route 214.
