Mayor Swizzy led the diverse group of settlers to found Bellflower City in the Northeast portion of the city both for the land's fertility and to allow the denser parts of town better real estate. The mayor took the radical step of connecting the City to the rest of Sim Nation by rail access only and renewable energy only. With the construction of Estación Colón, the first settlers were able to move into their homes and open the first farms and businesses. The citizens of Bellflower City quickly demanded access to the beach, which was soon designed on the nearest part of Río Colón. As part of Mayor Swizzy's multi-modal bonafides, he ensured the citizens has a parking garage and nearby car & pedestrian ferry installed. Citizens were quick to move in and access this favored public amenity, though business owners were more reticent to construct their enterprises due to the lack of consistent traffic. With access to Playa del Río and the Mayor's founding principles, including the establishment of a primary school, public library, medical clinic, a playground and community garden, and bus stops. the neighborhood of Bellflower grew quickly yet deliberately. The growth of the City continued along Bellflower Boulevard with the new neighborhood of Lakewood, complete with a Lakewood Library Branch and baseball field, and nearby access to farms. Though initially resistant, as the sole city in the region and the growing unemployment rate, the mayor compromised to demand and permitted the zoning of a new industrial district with nearby freeway access. While he ensured that the district had its own fire station, community safety office, medical clinic, and outdoor workers' space, the area soon filled up with the dirtiest industries. The mayor held a public meeting plotting the steps to promote education and unionization to improve the types of industries citizens would work for in the future. As wealthy citizens started moving into Viejo Bellflower, as the founding neighborhood started to be lovingly called, they soon started leaving just as quickly, leaving their mansions to fall into decrepit conditions. The newly formed Bellflower Citizens' Council proposed a renovation of one of these mansions as a public meeting space, with the Mayor gladly endorsed! Bellflower City after a half a decade.
