The term "Down East" has been used to describe the area of Maine as early as the mid-1800s. It originated from sailors who traveled down the eastern coast of Maine when sailing from Boston. Today, it is commonly used to refer to the coastal region of Maine.

Why do people call Down Syndrome Down's?

Down syndrome is the correct term. People who are using "Downs" are speaking incorrectly. Down syndrome used to be called Down's syndrome, but since John Langdon Down did not have nor "invent" this chromosomal abnormality, the correct name is Down syndrome. Countries such as the UK, still use the term Down's syndrome, but shortening it to Down's is not using people first language, therefore, it is incorrect.
