Lubec, Maine is the easternmost town. The Easternmost point lies in the Alaskan Aleutian Islands. This is because the isalnds cross over the International Date Line, or the line that traditionally separates East and West.

It is one of the Aleutian Islands (Alaska) that crosses the International Date Line. The IDL by convention delineates the eastern and western hemispheres hence one of the Aleutians is technically the easternmost point in the US.
Since it is not specified, in the contiguous U.S. (i.e. the U.S. excluding Alaska and Hawaii), the easternmost point is in Maine near the Newfoundland border.

Alaska is correct, although that is going to confuse some people a great deal...It all has to do with how the Longitudes are positioned.
