Veazie is a town in Penobscot County, Maine, United States.

[2] The town is named after General Samuel Veazie, an early lumber baron and railroad operator.

[3] Veazie was originally part of Bangor, using Penobscot River water power to operate sawmills.

It became a separate town in 1853 because General Veazie, its wealthiest citizen, felt that Bangor's property taxes were excessive.

24.1% of all households were made up of individuals, and 9.1% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

Veazie Community School teaches children from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade.

Students from Veazie attend neighboring high schools in Bangor or Orono.

[9][10] Veazie is part of the 8th district of the Maine Senate, which is currently represented by Democrat Mike Tipping.
