Today many of its residents speak French; 83.4% of the population speak French at home. Home of a large annual Acadian festival, Madawaska is the northernmost town in New England.

During the early colonial period, Madawaska was a significant meeting place and hunting/fishing area for the Maliseet (Wolastoqiyik) nation. Madawaska was at the center of the bloodless Aroostook War. The final border between the two countries was established with the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842, which gave Maine most of the disputed area, and gave the British a militarily vital connection between the province of Québec and the province of New Brunswick.

According to the US census, the town has a total area of 56.5 square miles, of which, 55.7 square miles is land and 0.8 square miles (1.42%) is water. Madawaska is located beside the St. John River, the Canada – United States border. The town is served by U.S. Route 1.
