Throughout the 20th century, the community prospered. It developed a reputation as a small but successful rural town, mostly due to the paper industry, but also to its proximity to [[Mount Katahdin|Katahdin]], Maine's tallest mountain, and [[Moosehead Lake]], Maine's largest lake.
In early 2003, however, Great Northern Paper announced it had filed for [[bankruptcy protection]] for its Millinocket and [[East Millinocket, Maine|East Millinocket]] mills. Since then, the [[mill town]] has struggled to reshape its economy, while receiving significant help from the state government and local economic development efforts. Shortly after closing the mills, a [[Canada|Canadian]] corporation purchased the bankrupt paper mills in both Millinocket and East Millinocket. Currently, the paper mill employs over 200 workers in East Millinocket Mill only. In addition to the traditional [[forest product]]s industry, Millinocket has been growing a [[service economy]], and has grown into a major four-season tourist attraction. The region is served by the Millinocket Municipal Airport, which sells both 100LL [[avgas]] and [[jet fuel]].<ref>[http://www.katahdinmaine.com/area-history.html "Area History", Katahdin Area Chamber of Commerce] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101221232309/http://www.katahdinmaine.com/area-history.html |date=2010-12-21 }}</ref>
