is a town located on the eastern side of the Penobscot River in Penobscot County, Maine, United States. It is named after Jonathan Eddy, a captain in the French and Indian Wars, a colonel in American Revolutionary War, and the first magistrate in the area. Eddy and most of the town's other original settlers were from Nova Scotia, where they had supported George Washington and the Rebels against the majority British Loyalist population. Failing in their attempt make Nova Scotia the 14th Colony to join the Revolution, they emigrated to Maine and were given land grants in present-day Eddington.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 26.5 square miles (68.7 km²), of which, 25.1 square miles (65.0 km²) of it is land and 1.4 square miles (3.7 km²) of it is water. The total area is 5.32% water.
