The boundary between the state of Maine and the current province of New Brunswick remained in dispute until the Webster Ashburton Treaty of 1842. The period 1838-839 was marked by confrontations on both sides of the disputed territory in a series of skirmishes which have become known as the Bloodless Aroostook War.
Original documents and maps relating to the dispute are held by the Maine State Library.
