The Revolutionary War wasn’t the last time the United States butted heads with the United Kingdom. In 1838, the US skirmished with the UK over the international boundary between Maine and New Brunswick, Canada. This strife was called the Aroostook War. As one of the US troops headed north, they passed by a particular lake, which had no name at the time, and opted to name it Eagle Lake in a nod to dozens of eagles they saw in the area. Many residents in northeastern Maine are bilingual, speaking both English and French, reflecting the close relationship with New Brunswick’s citizens, many of whom speak primarily French.
