The cute little town of Lubec, Maine is considered the eastern most town in the continental US.
Alaska. We are the Northern-most, Eastern-most, and Western-most State in the Union. Edit by other member: no, it is not Alaska. First of all, Alaska is not in the continental US and second of all it is also not the eastern most state in the union. The actual westernmost point is debatable: Cape Mendocino in California or western Washington.
The most eastern point in the US is West Quoddy Head in Maine. It is significant because it is the first place in the US to see the sunrise each day due to its location on the easternmost tip of the country.
The most eastern point on a map is significant because it marks the furthest point to the east that can be reached on that particular map. It is important for navigation and understanding the geographical layout of a region.
The eastern-most point in the continental United States is in Quoddy Head State Park in Maine. When considering US Territories, Guam is the eastern-most territory (by lattitude) with an official flag and a seat in the House; and Wake Island is the farthest east US territory by latitude.

This is actually a bit of a complicated answer, because it depends on what you really mean by "in the United States." And here's why I say that: Technically, Wake Island, an unorganized, unincorporated territory of the United States is west of the International date line, and so it is 1 day ahead of what we typically think of as "the United States." Maine is the eastern most State, and Lubec is the eastern most town, making it the eastern most town in the Continental United States to see daylight. However, West Quoddy Head, which is part of Lubec, is considered the eastern most point in the Continental United States. And, of course, Point Udall in St. Croix (U.S. Virgin Islands) is the eastern most point of all the US Territories.
The most eastern point of the United States is Point Udall on the island of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Alaska, which also has the eastern most point
Russia contains the most eastern point on the continent of Europe.
The most eastern point in Europe is in Russia (Cape Flissingski)
