Ep. 1 -  Alikali I

History


In 1895 The Wilson P&F Railroad was constructed to make a local line to reach farther then the Simnation Main Line.This created a rather odd junction as one side of the P&F was Privately owned and The 4-way Intersection of the railroads in turen had to be built specially.


In 1905 A Copper Indusrialist named Harry Gustav was looking for a prime location to build a factory with worker housing. He chose the Intersection for it's Prime Location and Motivated seller who had just inherited it. He then Erected an Oversized (at the time) Factory, a few houses, and a train station all connected by a small road.


In the Decade between 1910 and 1920,  Harry Constructed some better worker housing, a one-room school house, and a new Office for his company along with a Macy's Department store.


In 1925 He extended the street and sold the lot to a Brett Kustin and he made a General Motors dealership of it. A rich Factory Manager Builds a large mansion facing the Railway.


In 1940 He Built lines from a neighboring town to Alakali which had outgrown the Factory's power producing abilities, and also made a water tower and piping system.


In 1949 He made a small plaza Next to the water tower and put a small chapel in the remaining space. He also put some townhouses down to supply a larger workforce. The abandoned manor house forlorns the entrance of anyone except it's now dead owner.

Considering there seems to be a fair amount of Maxis here, you've done a great job keeping the repetition down!

Ep. 2 - Dickens I

History

Founded in 1837, Dickens was stuffed with storefronts by this photo. It serves the county as the seat, and the courthouse is facing the city circle.

In 1915 an elementary school was founded, and a Paper Company moved in next to the Regional Coal power plant. Also, State St. was repaved and extended across the river.

In 1923 The town was extened a block, and the Industrial Sector grew. A new High School and Library were built in 1927. Route 5 Paved over Main St. and then Crossed Franklin river.

In 1932-4, New farms sprouted outside of town. In 1938, First Street was Repaved and extended across the Franklin river.

In the years right after WW2, The town built up another block, and horse farms were built along Rt. 5.
