A significant landmark in Fort Kent, Maine, America's First Mile proudly signifies the origin of the United States' longest north-south road. Back in 1926, the integration of various regional highways birthed the iconic U.S. Route 1, stretching an impressive 2,369 miles from its starting point in Fort Kent to its southern terminus in Key West, Florida.
As this renowned highway weaves through bustling cities along the Eastern Seaboard, it all begins at a single distinguished spot, commemorated by a striking granite monument denoting America's First Mile. This historic site not only marks the inception of an enduring roadway but also serves as a reminder of the vast expanse of the American landscape waiting to be explored.
