Norumbega

Part of Abraham Ortelius atlas from 1570, showing

Norumbega is a legendary settlement in northeastern North America which appeared on many early maps from the 1500s until American colonization.

Jean Allefonsce in 1542 reported that he had coasted south from Newfoundland and had discovered a great river. It often appeared on subsequent European maps of North America, lying south of Acadia in what is now New England. Bangor embraced the legend in the nineteenth century, naming their municipal hall "Norumbega Hall". In 1886 inventor Joseph Barker Stearns built a mansion named "Norumbega Castle", which still stands on US Route 1 in Camden, Maine, overlooking Penobscot Bay.
