Forest City is a populated place in Washington County, Maine, United States. [1]

The community has the unusual distinction of sharing its name with the community of Forest City immediately across the Canada–United States border in the province of New Brunswick.

The community houses the Forest City Border Crossing and a small water control dam on the Chiputneticook Lakes. Both Forest Cities use the same Baptist church and cemetery, both of which are on the New Brunswick side. [2]

Education

The Maine Department of Education takes responsibility for coordinating school assignments in the unorganized territory. [3]
