Presumed to be a region near Shechem.

When they tried to make Abimelech, son of Gideon, king, the residents of Shechem and Milo took the lead.

Judges 9:6All the citizens of Shechem and all the house of Millo gathered and went to the oak of the pillar at Shechem, and there they made Abimelech king.

Abimelech was a violent man who killed all his brothers, but only Jotham (son of Gideon) survived and cursed them, saying that God would repay them.

Judges 9:20If not, let fire come out from Abimelech and devour the citizens of Shechem and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the citizens of Shechem and the house of Millo and devour Abimelech.
