TOWN DESCRIPTION
First settled in 1762, and incorporated in
1789, Deer Isle originally encompassed
Isle au Haut, which split off in 1874, and
Stonington, which split off in 1897. The
town now includes the northern two-thirds
of the island of Deer Isle and the islands of
Little Deer Isle and Sunshine.
Located here are the Island’s two largest
public and private employers: the Island’s
elementary and high school complex and
the nonprofit Island Nursing Home and
Care Center, founded in 1975.
The nationally renowned Haystack
Mountain School of Crafts is located in
Sunshine and was named to the National
Register of Historic Places in 2005. The
400-seat Reach Performing Arts Center, at
the Deer Isle-Stonington Elementary
School, is the site for school and community
productions and events.
The town’s 87 miles of beautiful shorefront
attract retirees who build year-round
or seasonal homes.
