Milinoket

(Millinocket, Maine)

Milinoket, situated on a map of Maene.

**Milinoket** is the town in northern Maene in which the YouTube series *Milinoket Cabbl* takes place. It is the equivalent in the series of the real-life town of Millinocket, Maine. The population is approximately 4,500, and is situated to the southeast of Maene's highest mountain, Mt. Cateden (real-life Mt. Katahdin).

As the primary setting for Milinoket Cabbl, many references to real-life locations are found in the series.

Known for its now-closed paper mills and its proximity to Mt. Cateden, the Milinoket of the series is an isolated town that receives a steady flow tourists to the nearby state park. Its economy is now, as a result, largely based on tourists. In addition, it also boasts an antique snowmobile museum, a municipal airport, and a golf club.

## History

Just as in real-life Millinocket, Milinoket was founded in 1901 as a town primarily built on the paper industry.

## References to real-life locations

Since the series uses the real-life Millinocket as its setting, there are many references to real-life locations in the town and around it. The following is a list of these locations shown in the series so far:

* **Mt. Cateden** (original: **Mt. Katahdin**)
* **Milinoket Cabbl** (original: **Bee Line Cable**; location and name are different in the series but Cabbl is loosely based on it.)
* **Cateden Grocery** (original: **Katahdin Grocery**)
* **Stern High Skuuks** (original: **Sterns High School**)
* **McSonic** (original: 1 Sycamore St. location of **McDonald's**)
* **Lake** **Milinoket** (original: **Millinocket Lake**)

## Differences from Millinocket

Despite the similarity to the town of Millinocket, *Cabbl'*s Milinoket has some differences to the original location. The following is a list of these differences shown in the series so far:

* Milinoket Cabbl: The name and location of the cable company vastly differ from Millinocket's actual cable company, Bee Line Cable.
* McSonic: The area surrounding McSonic is more spaced out than in real life. Roads immediately surround McDonald's and it has its own parking lot. This does not occur in the series.
* Mt. Cateden: In the series, the mountain is rounded by a cliffside road that is the site of a crash in episode 2.
* Western part of town: The houses of the McNoodles, Ruby's family, and Dad's family, situated west of town, do not exist in real life.

## Trivia

* Millinocket was first settled in 1829, and was incorporated as a city on March 16, 1901. History in the *Cabbl* universe is very similar to real-life history.
* Not all of Millinocket has been featured in Milinoket Cabbl yet. A large portion of the town itself will not be shown until later episodes.
* The Milinoket Cabbl headend and the offices of Bee Line Cable do not share the same location in town, despite Cabbl's parodical association with Bee Line in the series. Milinoket Cabbl is located to the northwest of town on Milinoket Road (Millinocket Road in real life), while Bee Line Cable is located in the center of town on Penobscot Avenue. Bee Line does not exist in the series, and is fully replaced with Milinoket Cabbl.
