Storybrooke

Storybrooke, Maine is a sleepy town on the far northeastern coast of New England. It serves as the main setting of Once Upon A Time. Steveston Village, Canada serves as the filming location for Storybrooke.

History
In Fairytale Land, the Evil Queen cast a Dark Curse, which sent all of the storybook characters to Storybrooke. The Curse caused them to forget their true identities and become miserable for all of eternity. However, the Curse can be broken by Snow White and Prince Charming's daughter, Emma Swan.

Storybrooke, and the universe it resides in, is referred to as "a land without magic" in the episode "The Return". The Blue Fairy uses this term when she gives Baelfire the magic bean.

Also, apparently because of the curse, no residents can leave Storybrooke. If they try, either bad things happen, mostly involving car crashes, or something or someone stops them before they leave. The only characters who have been able to leave so far are Henry Mills, Emma Swan and August Booth, all of whom were not in Fairytale Land when the curse was unleashed.
