Caribou Air Force Station
Caribou Air Force Station, also known as North River Depot and East Loring, is a defunct Air Force Station that operated from 1951 until some time when it was absorbed into Loring Air Force Base in 1962. It was located in Limestone, Maine, adjacent to Loring. Between 1951 and 1962 Caribou was an Operational Storage Site for Air Materiel Command (AMC-OSS), one of five in the United States, and the weapons storage and maintenance facility for Loring alert aircraft.
Maine State Route 161
SR 161 formerly traveled through downtown Caribou. In order to promote downtown development and reroute through heavy traffic, the Caribou Connector was proposed. Construction on the bypass began in 2010 and was completed on August 17, 2012. The old routing through Caribou subsequently became SR 161B.
