Kingsport es el reflejo imaginario de Marblehead (situada a pocos kilómetros de Salem), una ciudad muy real que Lovecraft visitó en varias ocasiones. La descripción de Kingsport que aparece en The Festival (1923, Literatura) esta basada en una de esas visitas.
Providence is part of me —I am Providence— but as I review the new impressions which have impinged upon me since birth, I think the greatest single emotion —and the most permanent one as concerns consequences to my inner life and imagination— I have ever experienced was my first sight of Marblehead in the golden glamour of late afternoon under the snow on December 17, 1922. That thrill has lasted as nothing else has a visible climax and symbol of the lifelong mysterious tie which binds my soul to ancient things and ancient places.
—H.P. Lovecraft (carta a Lillian D. Clark, 29 de Marzo de 1926)
