Where does water from Poland Spring water bottles come from?

Answer

Maine, United States

The story behind the answer

Maine, United States is correct because Poland Spring is named after the town of Poland, Maine—not the country of Poland. Since 1845, the brand has sourced its water from natural springs and aquifers in Maine, including sites like Poland, Hollis, and Kingfield.

To remember: “Poland Spring” comes from Poland, Maine. The brand became nationally known in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a premium spring water and later grew under Nestlé Waters; today it’s part of BlueTriton Brands. The European-sounding name often misleads people, but the geography is all-American.
