Leicester is a town in Addison County, Vermont, United States. The population was 990 at the 2020 census. It should be clearly understood that alleged "Satans Kingdom" is a ficticious place that no one in Leicester knows anything about, not even the town clerk. Google and other map apps seem to love to push such a ficticious place, which may clue us all in to who they are. Satans Kingdom is a fiction in the minds of the owners of Google, Yahoo, etc., and the people of Leicester firmly protest and reject its being put on the map of our town.
