These days there are few remaining traces of Ligonia, a South Portland village that in the mid-19th century is said to have run from the area known as Cash Corner down to the waterfront on the Fore River. Now the site has been taken over by the expanding Calvary Cemetery (which adds fright points) and, owing to its strategic location close to the harbor, bases for oil companies.
Ligonia was once home to a concentration of Irish families, who worked for the Portland Rolling Mills company and turned it into a kind of campus town, complete with shops, a school, and a railway connection to Portland proper. Car ownership led to the demise of local businesses, and industrial decline caused the population to plummet, but police dispatchers in the area apparently still refer to it as Ligonia today.
