I have started off with pristine landscape, as cities aren't built overnight. I have chosen to build the county's seat of Schieffelin in the center of the city with a river joining the trading town to the farming community. With a cloud in the sky, I zoom in closer to build my first street. I have built the first city block with one business in order to start it small. I understand that even when starting small I still have the possibility of failure, but's the data that I gather about my city will help keep traffic moving so that I may be able be able to accommodate a larger highway shift the town's residents to a larger density and even allow for larger zones. This first block has only a windmill and a small business. But to the other half of the image shows that the farmland that is being built will help till some of the land to prepare for its future. In the end, I have two residential neighborhoods with 160 residents. Starting small may seem boring at first, but if the zones are built at a proper pace, then the city will become more populated with a better aesthetic appeal. --- End of Year 00 Funds: $85,258 Resident Population 160 Commercial Jobs 26 Industry Jobs 93 --- Volume 1, Issue 3

1774-1845: A history of Austin, California
jephonesewarrior posted a City Journal entry in City of Austin
It's early April 1774. A young explorer named Fernando de Austin, approaches the Pacific Ocean. He decides to make camp there. He builds a nice European-style building, which is today town hall. He notices that the soil here is quite fertile, unlike the rest of Southern California. He decides to bring settlers here, and calls the town Austin. Many years later in 1845, the city became a boomtown, due to the Gold Rush. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks for Reading.
