Overview Well, after quite some time, I am back with a much overdue update. Today I will exhibit the region's cleanest city, River City, appropriately named for its position at the apex of the Green River and Branch River. Downtown sits nestled right along the river, as its suburbs spread out across the river in West City, and up towards the rolling green hills to the east. The city was originally founded by a group of settlers who left early Trentonburg for a cleaner, unspoiled landscape. They foresaw the...

Since we left off in a small sleepy town, lets head to another big city: City of Hereford Overview Hereford is the second biggest city in the region at about 165,000 Sims. And while only about 2/3 the size of Trentonburg, it is a much nicer and cleaner place. Below you can see an overview of the City, from the industry in Brownfield to the north, Downtown in the center, and the sprawling suburbs of Allenville and Pleasantville south of that. Hereford has always had a rich fishing and shipping industry due...

Leyland County: Just a little inland and to the west of Trentonburg lies Leyland County, founded in 1742 it has built itself up to be the region’s breadbasket. This little county of 21,000 Sims provides the vast majority of the agricultural products that keep the region fed. The county itself consists of the Town of Leyland in the center, the tiny hamlet of Prothero to the north, and the village of Benton to the South. There are also a few more towns to the south not shown here that are still part of the...

Ok, as promised here is the exciting conclusion to Part 1 of Trentonburg and its Districts. Since we left off choking on Doherty's hazarous fumes, why don't we drive down Constance Street and take a dip in the sludge known as... Trentonburg Harbor The shipping industry started early in Trentonburg's history due to the deep waters of the Manahasset Bay and the protection from choppier waters that the island of Holland County provides. The harbor also serves as the link to the rest of the world for the large...

Overview of Trentonburg Trentonburg was originally established in 1642 as a Dutch fur trading colony. After falling into British control shortly thereafter, it expanded at an exponential rate. Industry boomed in the area during the late 1800s with the primary industries being steel production, and later automobile manufacturing. Today, Trentonburg is a city of over 250,000 sims and still growing. However, typical big city problems like traffic and pollution are starting to rear thier ugly heads, and the...

Introduction

By SockoJr53,

Hello and Welcome! First and foremost, my name is Nick, and despite being a Simtropolis member since 2003 (Has it been that long already?) I have never made a City Journal. Well, here it is, my first journal; Trentonburg and the Manahasset Bay. Below you can see my first picture and a bit of a teaser. For those old-school Simtropolites such as myself, you may recognize it as the Digby-East Coast Region by lewellan222. I love his region and old city journal, and although he has vanished from the site a long...
