George Munjoy

George Munjoy (c. 1626–1680) was an early settler in what was Falmouth, Province of Maine.

Munjoy Hill, in today's Portland, Maine, is named for him,[1][2][3] as was Peaks Island for a period.

He moved north, from the Massachusetts Bay Colony, in 1659, and settled the land on the eastern end of the peninsula of Falmouth, Province of Maine.

[5] His father-in-law had purchased the land from George Cleeve, one of the founders of the city which is known today as Portland.

[8] The nearby Eastern Cemetery was established nine years after his arrival.
