The town of Steerlewitz was settled shortly after Jacksontown by a group of German farmers who could not find any land left withing the city limits of Jacksontown. They each set up their farms, and eventually a bridge was constructed from the tip of the city to the northern edge of Steerlewitz city limits.

It took only a few short years before more people began to flee the growing city on the island and took of a quieter residence in Steerlwitz.

About 20 years after the farmers had settled the land, a ferry port was put in. This road started to become a major hub of travel, and so the rail line was brought up to end in a large depot on the other side of the street.
