Historical Sites[]
Kinship Village State Historic Site- A Kinship settlement. It's built on Piglet Sound, and may have been used as a port, because a quay was discovered around here as well as a bunch of buildings. One building has a bunch of iron arrowheads and bowstring, meaning that this was the armory. There were lots of other buildings here, like huts for sleeping in, a mayor's hut, and a council hut. Jacob Reginald Enderby discovered this site when he expanded his city to the coast.
Old City Hall-Enderby City's first city hall. It's located in Larkin Hill, where JRE's army base was. The city hall was moved to Glenview in 1997, and a soda fountain opened here. However, there are a few traces of the old city hall here.
Galpengstown National Historic Site- An old city. In the 18th/19th centuries, Galpengstown was the main city of this area. It was set up during medieval times. At that time, it was mostly a waystation on the way to Tri-River Delta in Freezeland, which was considered a sacred place. It became bigger during the renaissance, and became a large city. The pirate Jean Lapeng had his HQ here. It was destroyed by Lapeng's rivals in 1911. However, the old city was rebuilt, and looks a lot like it did 200 years ago. This is a parody of Galveston.
Port[]
In 1995, businesspenguin Marcus von Kindach moved to the city. von Kindach and his associates built a trading post in Glenview. Ships came there, but they needed a place to dock, so a port was built. The trading post is still there, but it's mostly a tourist attraction compared to the port, which has given the city lots of money. von Kindach, after making a bad deal which he thought would help him, had to sell the port to the city in 1996. He is now a hobo living near Continental Tower, begging penguins for money.
