southernmostdwelling

Southernmostdwelling is a small, unincorporated community located in the southernmost region of the U.S. state of Maine, near the border with New Brunswick, Canada. Situated along the Bay of Fundy, it is part of the town of Lubec, which is the easternmost municipality in the contiguous United States. The area is known for its rugged coastline, dramatic tides, and rich maritime history.

The community’s name reflects its geographic position as one of the southernmost inhabited settlements in Maine, though it is not the absolute southernmost point of the state. Southernmostdwelling is primarily a residential area, with a mix of year-round homes and seasonal residences. The region’s economy has historically relied on fishing, particularly lobstering, as well as tourism, given its scenic coastal landscapes and proximity to the Canadian border.

The community is accessible via Maine State Route 187, which connects Lubec to the rest of the state. Nearby attractions include the Lubec Lighthouse, the historic Fort Williams Park, and the nearby town of Campobello Island, which was once a summer retreat for U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The area also offers opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, birdwatching, and kayaking, thanks to its diverse ecosystems, including salt marshes and rocky shores.

Southernmostdwelling, like much of coastal Maine, experiences a humid continental climate with cold winters and mild summers. The region’s proximity to the ocean moderates temperatures, though strong winds and heavy snowfall are common in winter. The community maintains a tight-knit, rural character, with a focus on local traditions and a strong connection to the maritime heritage of the area.
