Most settlers were American, with the notable exception of the Swedish Colony which extends into Woodland from the neighboring town of New Sweden. Most of them farmed or worked in the lumber industry, as many continue to do today. Notable unique places found in Woodland include the Aroostook Valley Trail and the old Swedish Colony historic sites.
