History

edit

In the 1830s, Jill was a widely unexplored wilderness. The JAR River explorers set out along the dry JAR river, looking to found a colony. Port Justin was discovered and founded in 1840.

Throughout the early decades, Port Justin grew slowly. The solitary location didn't attract many newcomers, and by 1880, Port Justin had a population of only 56,000. In 1900, Port Justin had a small population jump and grew to 100,000

In 1906, gold was discovered 32 miles east of Port Justin, on the Gold Shores River. The Gold Rush of 1906 quickly came, and Port Justin's population spiked. A total of 480,000 people came to Port Justin during that period, and 211,456 stayed. Port Justin's city limits quickly expanded about 16.7 miles east. A total of 42 gold mines were set up on the Gold Shores. The city wanted to annex the area before any rush towns developed. None did, and the city would buy out the area later, in 1932. The rush slowed down by 1911, but the river was still wealthy with gold. Miners had totaled in about $41,000,000 in gold, which amounts to $170,000,000 in Jill today. The exited economy to a turn for a more calmer, yet still growing, time period.

In the 1920s, Port Justin held the title of 500,000 inhabitants. The economy had slowed down to a normal pace, and business was well. The city annexed about 20 more miles eastward, and discovered the rainforests. The rainforest became a hot spot for real estate corporations, but the city saved the rainforest. The Port Justin Rainforest Reserve was opened in 1931, covering about 77% of the forest. The other 23% was enforced with strict zoning laws.

In the 1940s, Port Justin became the center of the arts. Museums, including the Jill Art Museum, opened during this decade. Architecture boomed during this period also, and the skyline finally grew.

In 1955, the city hit 1,000,000 people. The economy surged along with it, but the city was in for a slow 2 decades. The opening of the 1960s brought an economic slowdown. The city, as it had seemed, had run out of energy. Port Justin grew by another million people through the 60s, but the focus of the economy was mainly on newer cities. Brownville, roughly 500 miles north, was a growing center of agriculture and finance, while Shady Oaks, 250 miles west, was in the housing market.

Port Justin accumulated 700 thousand more people in the 1970s. In 1974 the economy hit an all-time low, and the government was afraid of a depression. Luckily, the city would grow larger in the 1980s.

In 1981, citizens were crying for a industrial area. Port Justin was desperate for more industry, so the city passed the Industry Project in 1982, which lighted a new multi-million dollar project to build a industrial area.

Construction started in June 1982, and the project was finished in 1988. The project ran like this:

Project Table
Project Date Started Date Finished
Fern Bayou Digging 1982 1985
City Freeway 10 Expantion 1982 1988
East End Resovier 1983 1986
Street Construction 1982 1987
Fern Park 1985 1988
Highway 626 Renovation 1983 1985
Gold Shores River Overpass 1984 1986

About 87% of the land was sold to industrial companies by 1990.

The 1990s were boom times for the area. The modern age had started, and with a surge of 500,000 new residents thanks to the Industrial Area, the population striked 3.8 million in 1992. The skyline of Port Justin, which had been fairly small, grew throughout the 1990s. In 1998, the population hit 4 million.

The 2000s brought along a new wave of technology. Today, the city is the second largest in the world, nearing 4.2 million. The city is famous for its new, modern architecture, which really developed in the late 1980s.
