  • The town is economically and culturally linked to the Canadian towns of Clair and Saint-François-de-Madawaska , both in Madawaska County, New Brunswick, directly across the St. John River. Most children on the Canadian side attend school in French while their American counterparts attend school mainly in English. Despite this, 62 per cent of people [1] in Fort Kent are habitual speakers of French. The variety of French spoken in Fort Kent and most of the St. John River Valley, however, is not considered Parisian French, which is the standard of the language: ore similar to the Quebecois joual, it is referred to as "Valley French." Many residents also have American-Canadian dual citizenship.
