Where is Stepehen King's town and state of residence?

Stephen King’s town and state of residence are Bangor, Maine. The novelist has maintained a long-standing home in Bangor, a city that strongly influenced the atmosphere and settings of his fiction.

King moved to Maine’s Bangor area after college, when he began teaching creative writing at the University of Maine in Orono. He and his wife, novelist Tabitha King, purchased their famous Victorian home in Bangor in 1980. The house’s elaborate iron fence and unusual decorations have made it a landmark for fans, although it remains a private residence.

Readers sometimes confuse Bangor with Derry, the fictional Maine town that appears in novels such as It and Insomnia. Derry is not a real town; King modeled many aspects of it on Bangor and nearby communities. King and his family have also owned or used homes elsewhere, including Center Lovell, Maine, and Florida, but Bangor is the canonical answer to this trivia question and the place most closely associated with his residence and literary identity.
