It is served by a Maine Department of Transportation ferry making three round trips a day from Rockland. Its year-round population of 381 (2000 Census) swells in July and August with the return of families who own seasonal homes on the Island. On July 13, 2007, North Haven celebrated the 160th anniversary of its name day. North Haven supports an accredited K-12 community school. The School has begun construction on a new $7.5MM building. The Town maintains its own water and sewer systems. The former is a state of the art slow sand filtration plant and the latter is a primary treatment facility. The Town runs the North Haven Medical Clinic which is staffed by a physician and a nurse practitioner in rotation with one another. Volunteers staff emergency medical and fire services. Law enforcement is provided by a Knox County Deputy Sheriff. North Haven is governed by a Board of Selectmen, who are elected at an annual Town Meeting. On a day to day basis the Town is managed by an appointed Town Administrator.
