Castle Rock town view

Castle Rock is a small New England mill town in Maine that has served as a nexus for paranormal, supernatural, and metaphysical events. The town shares a border with Chester's Mill, though the boundary became blocked by an invisible barrier on Dome Day. It is the county seat of Castle County, although according to "It Grows On You" it didn't acquire this status until sometime after the late 1920s; at least until that point, Lackery was the county seat.

The population of Castle Rock was 1,280 by 1959 and around 1,500 as of 1991. A roadsign existing by 1982 established that Castle Rock was 37 miles from Portland and 188 miles from Boston, Massachusetts. The town is situated to the south of Mexico, Rumford, and Motton in the center of Oxford County.

Much of Castle Rock was destroyed in in 1991 as the result of the actions of Leland Gaunt, who manipulated many residents into fighting one another. These events came to be known locally as the Big Fire. While much of the town's infrastructure was destroyed and many of its residents left, it did experience something of a recovery in the following decades.
