Oostad

Oostad is a farming town in the north of the Stephens District. Oostad is a service town for the extensive farming region that surrounds it to the north and west, as well as to the nearby industrial town of Oostad West. To the south lies Oostad National park and Stone Valley.
== Etymology ==
The name Oostad is a concatenation of the Dutch words "oost", meaning "east", and "stad", meaning "city". It was named as such because it was east of Port Thomas and Spawn Point, although Minecraft's coordinate system has since rotated and the town now lies north of Port Thomas.
== History ==
Oostad was established in 2011 with the construction of Oostad Hut. It was a small settlement for many years, but in 2014-15 is was expanded to a town with the establishment of the farms.
== Geography ==
The town is centred on a small grassy plain immediately north of the Oostad Range. Some buildings are also located on the range overlooking Union City. The area north of the town was once a desert, but this has now been covered in grass for farming.
