Castle Rock is a 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.

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.
