borough founded in the early 18th century
agrarian paradise throughout the centuries
first in the region to become electrified, and to have a newspaper
nothing earth shattering to report other than a frustrated invasion force that failed to get very far into the neighboring county

First established as a Fort by the Spanish in 1769. Became a proper metropolis in the early 20th century. Pretty new. It was a total backwater town until the railroad connection in 1878, and remained a pretty unremarkable place until a combination of mass immigration and the military turning into a stronghold significantly bolstered its population and infrastructure. It underwent a decline post-WW2 until the 70s when it became a tuna fishing hub, attracting thousands of new businessmen (coincidentally this is also how both sides of my family got here), and continued to grow in prosperity as it became a hub for biotech. Today it's the safest major American city, the largest immigration crossing point in the world, a top tourist spot, and consistently ranked as one of the best places in America to live.

Apparently its at least possible that my town has been lived in since the time of the roman occupation of Britain.
This does make sense desu seeing as it lies in a protected valley near an easy crossing point of the Pennines.
The borders of three different counties used to run through the town as well which is pretty cool

>the Spanish came here in the late 1700s
>this makes it "old"

I hate America.

>>2800573
Bingo
People seem to think that there is total peace here now but in reality bombs are still going off. Usually at least 3 bombs a month and a kneecapping or two.
Thankfully the terrorists are some of the worst in the world and have a success rate of 1/20 or so. Most of them fail to go off or blow up too early
I live in a overwhelmingly unionist area that's not in a flashpoint or in a city, so terror attacks are more rare here but they still happen. London pays no attention.

Oh and a 10 year old girl was murdered and dismembered about 7 years ago.

Literally Elfs.
Inland was so radically different than any sea/trading route, that it was basically a different culture until almost 1100s. Where some magic kingdom unification magic centralized power under a bunch of cool warlords, and suddenly the Elfs where not longer Elfs.

Permanent inland settlements as far back as history goes.

I live in a little dutch farmer's town. It's really comfy, and has aparently been around for as long as the 9th century but not very /his/. Used to be the land of a monestary, and it used to be two towns before they merged together in the last century (and 3 towns the century before).

The oldest building is the reformed church, dates at least to the early 12th century. Has been renovated after the war though.

Chapter I
From the time before memories were formed, primeval forest breathing in deeply each spring and exhaling an explosive magnificence of red, auburn, maroon, orange, black, pale yellow, and off-white each fall. A deep winter sleep only to see the signs of first man, first eyes awake, breathing in deeply again.
Algonquian-Huron-Iroquois had arrived.
They stepped carefully through the North Eastern woodlands, those decedents of curious nomads following the woolly-mammoth and other large game across the summer air of the Baring Peninsula a few languages ago.
In that forest, those people manipulated their environments in such tempered psyche; pre-industrial, pre-beast of burden, pre-large scale metallurgy, gave us a reflection of our pasts. Man's pasts.
Man's as species working in contact with nature. On the cusp, wholly engaged on the man-nature dichotomy during the split. Here these people, call them what you will formed sophisticated government and tribal relations the envy of any anarchist, libertarian, or political-realists around.
It wasn't all fun and games. American Elves prancing through the No way, there were still medical ailments that herbal treatments, constant massage, and family nurture cannot cure. And warfare was not unknown. Food was plentiful at least, as the forest was rich with game semi-managed the people who has passed the sacred techniques down the line...

The town is named after a major battle in the 15th century.

but the Acambaro municipality in Guanajuato, Mexico where my parents are from is way more interesting.
they're from "nuevo chupicuaro" the old chupicuaro was flooded to make a dam but when they were building it they found hundreds, maybe even thousands, of pre-Colombian artifacts from around 500 BCE, also the nearby town of Acambaro was founded in1526.

It started as a railroad station/post office by some guy that didn't like the guy who made the first railroad station/post office about 3 miles away.

Camelodonum = Camelot

Riothamus (King Arthur) maybe have actually been the King of Brittany, not Britain, thus his capital would have been nowhere near Colchester, but I think the name of the old capital of Romano-Britannia was carried through and added to the legend.

Absolutely nothing has ever happened in my town. Nobody in my town has ever done anything of any importance. Most important thing that's ever happened here was 1 guy was on Jeopardy a couple times.

A neighboring town had some cool shit go on though. CutCo is based there, and they're world-famous in the cutting-implement industry. Mostly kitchen and garden equipment now, but they used to make knives for the military. Kabar is a brand of theirs, you can see Kabar knives in tons of photos from WW2.
