| Patten is a town in Penobscot County, incorporated on April 16, 1841 from the township T4 R6 WELS and named for Amos Patten, a wealthy Bangor lumberman who bought the township about the time it was first settled in 1830.
It has continued its focus on lumbering since its early settlement, including its Lumberman's Museum. Patten is the northern gateway to Baxter State Park.
