== History ==
Sunderhampton was the first settlement when the Slortexians came from Slortex, they set it up on the coast and started building houses and paving dirt roads. 
The settlers set up trade across the Blue Wisp Sea, and the town became a hotspot for ships from Hohehn and Slortex Castle. Which led to a lot of harbors being built along the coast. There was also multiple canals built through the city.
=== Claiming of the land ===
Since Polevene was virgin land, that means claims weren't limited, so upon arrival, the captain of the Auckland, George Nosizwe claimed as much land as he could and claimed over 124 square miles of land. He built houses and farms to sustain themselves.
Originally, George wanted the name of the city to be Auckland, named after the ship they had sailed on. But people decided not to name it that and instead built the Auckland Memorial in the middle of George Square on the coast, one of the most popular tourist spots in Sunderhampton today.
