This major city is located in the Northeastern part of the 1.15 Creative Map, adjacent to Los Angeles, Montmorency, and Hyena. The city was co-founded by Neyalex and Baneoverpowers, and the owner is Baneoverpowers. Dixieville was the 4th city on the 1.15 map to gain warp status (applying on the same day as Tulpfloerdam). The city consists of 9 boroughs, and is known for both its cultural and physical diversity. of Given its physical diversity, Dixieville takes minor inspiration from Chicago, New York, Sao Paulo, and Belneário Camboriú.

History

In January of 1632, Dutch explorers were venturing along Lil Swamp Ocean, when they discovered a densely-populated village that had recently been ravaged by a major hurricane. They pulled ashore and were welcomed by local inhabitants. After several feasts, the inhabitants welcomed the explorers to make a permanent settlement of the village on one condition: they would take part in rebuilding the village along the coastline.

Early Life

As many houses along were nearing completion, Portuguese explorers traversed from the south and settled in an adjacent village to the east (modern-day Hackney and Barking Boroughs). As trade between the coastal village and the inland village had become became frequent (during the coastal rebuild) prior to the Portugese settlement, travel and social relations had also become strong; many Portuguese settlers moved near the coastal town to help with the rebuilding process. The coastal town grew inland, uphill from initial Dutch efforts.

Flood of 1898 & Damaging Aftermath

In July of 1698, a hurricane made landfall approximately 10 miles north of the coastal village. Mild damage occurred inland, while low lying areas along the coast experienced storm surges of approximately 6-8 feet above sea level, causing moderate damage to multiple houses and washing a few into the Lil Swamp Ocean. The storm was estimated to be a Category 2 hurricane on the Saffir Simpson Scale. The following days after the hurricane saw minor looting in areas along the coast. However, as multiple Dutch houses and markets were targeted, many Dutch immigrants decided to move and re-settle in what is now Downtown Dixieville. With the coastal village's demographics becoming predominantly Portugese, the coastal village was given the name "Costa Linha", which exists to this day. Unfortunately, the aftermath of the hurricane's flood event saw Costa Linha become an increasingly dangerous settlement, and both more flooding disasters and violence resulted in the gradual exodus of this settlement.
