Founding

Rejuvenation Efforts

Barcalos was ceded to Member MattDB in late 2017, and remained a work in progress until Member MrMuffinFish resumed efforts in the city in early December. These efforts were spearheaded by the construction of a large port, and building has continued in the city since. MattDB ceded the city to MrMuffinFish in early 2018.

Expansion

In March of 2018, MrMuffinFish began an ambitious and ongoing project to connect Barcalos with the cities of West Somewhere (Owner: Trusted Potato123) and Avalon (Owner: Operator Dantosky) by road and rail, as well as the city of Savoie Maritime (Owner: Trusted Potato123) by sea. A bridge between the mesa north of West Somewhere and the coast south of Barcalos has begun to be constructed approximately 1.6km SSW of the Barcalos City Hall. Rail connections to Avalon have been planned but not yet constructed.
