Jackson Beach

Jackson Beach is a major neighbourhood and secondary business district of Port Thomas. It is the borough seat and commercial hub of the Jacksons Borough. Founded in August 2011, it was the first settlement founded by ThatIsPeter after the server was made multiplayer. In March 2016 the city of Jackson Beach was annexed by Port Thomas City. Jackson Beach is the home of Quotro's entertainment industry. Two of the city's three main recreational beaches are located in Jackson Beach.
== History ==
Jackson Beach was founded soon after Hillville so that ThatIsPeter could build with Shield Pearl but without interfering with his district. The fledgling settlement was named after either Michael Jackson or Peter Jackson. Jacksons Borough would eventually take its name from the settlement.
Development of Jackson Beach started in the south directly opposite Hillville. In 2013 development of Port Thomas started spilling into the northern reaches of Jackson Beach. Eventually the two developments combined into one urban area, but to this day the historic centre of Jackson Beach can be distinguished from the Central Port Thomas style development. In March 2016 the city of Jackson Beach was annexed by Port Thomas City. In 2019 the tallest tower on the server, Media Tower, was built in Jackson Beach.
== Geography ==
The neighbourhood is situated on a peninsula that was originally a plains biome. The isthmus that connects the peninsula to the rest of Middle Island was once narrow and sandy, but this was entirely excavated in 2011 for glass and sandstone to build Port Thomas Spleef Arena. This area has since been landscaped and now houses high-rises, but the area is still two metres below sea level due to the sand mining. Significant areas of Jackson Beach lie on reclaimed land, particularly around the isthmus.
Within Port Thomas, Jackson Beach lies south of the neighbourhoods of Statue Island, West Shore and Creston. The city of Southside is to the west and Point Peter is to the south within the Stephens District. The town of Hillville in the Biomes District also lies to the south over Jacksons Inlet.
