Since the 1700s when there was colonies the western border with New Hampshire has always been accepted but there was one main problem and that was Canada. the united states and canda has been having alot of disputes over the land in northern Maine the united states wanted maine to extend all the way up New Brunswick(canada) but canada steped down and argued that maine should be short of land. Finally in 1839 19 years after statehood a treaty was signed to call for an agreement of present day northern boundary.
