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.
