History of Long Lake
Long Lake was founded by the settlers of Orono. And, like the many small towns of the day, the residents quickly established a sawmill, began to benefit from the extension of the railroad, created a school district, general store, flour mill and hotel. The Pioneer Museum contains impressive archives documenting the beginnings of Long Lake. Residents past and present have thoughtfully and carefully maintained Long Lake’s history here for generations to come. The bootstrapping fruit growers, dairy farmers, wood carvers, beekeepers, broom makers and the growers and gatherers of the ginseng boom will not be forgotten. Built on hard work and the truth of the land, Long Lake is a city that continues to pride itself on its quality of life.
