Satan's Kingdom has been noted for its unusual place name.[2] It was named Satan's Kingdom after a resident of Northfield walked out of a church where a sermon about the fires of hell had just been given and saw a forest fire across the Connecticut River, and observed that Satan’s Kingdom was burning.[3]
