==History==
===Serenisands===
In the late 2050s, investors funded the Pacifica district of Night City to become a wealthy touristic destination, with Militech being its major investor.Dogtown - a splinter in the eye of Night CityCyberpunkGame on Twitter: "On the Shoulders of Giants. The Pacifica project, Militech's ace in the hole — till the game got canceled. A desperate move to buff their tarnished rep in Night City, so the story goes. But was it just a PR ploy? Or is there something more sinister lurking beneath?" This area of eastern Pacifica was to be called Serenisands.Founding Our Future Major construction companies involved included HFS, Zhirafa, Corp-Bud, Aurochs, among others.
In the following years, Pacifica's old buildings were demolished to give space to new ones. A large explosion under a construction site in Serenisands halted the process in the surrounding area. Investigations were issued, but it was never determined the cause, prompting to double the local security detail. The truth was that in the 2020s Militech had built an extensive network of laboratories and bunkers hidden beneath Pacifica's infrastructure, only to be abandoned at some point prior to the Fourth Corporate War. Rumors said that the expulsion had been caused after accidentally uncovering part of Cynosure's project. Due to this, Night City Council decided to wall-off Serenisands, giving the excuse of a gas leak, and Militech constructed a large wall around the district. Construction was resumed, and for a time the new measures were enough to bring investors back. (Dogtown Database Entry)Dogtown: Unearthed and Uncensored Many of the new projects were planned to be showcased at the Founding Our Future Innovation EXPO — including models of the Eventide Resort & Spa, the Heavy Hearts Club, and a never-built Militech headquarters based in Night City.Spider and the Fly The EBM Petrochem Stadium was to be the crowning jewel of Serenisands.Founding Our Future Innovation Expo computer
===Creation of Dogtown===
The Unification War (2069 - 2070) halted Pacifica's success in its tracks. As fears mounted that the New United States would invade Night City from Southern California and Pacifica would then become a battlefield, corporations and other investors raced to withdraw their fundings from the district's ongoing projects.CyberpunkGame on Twitter: "Paradise Lost. Folks call it Dogtown these days, but once upon a time it was slated to be a high-rolling resort, brimming with luxury spas, ritzy casinos, and grand hotels. Then along came the NUSA's Unification War. Rapped hard on Night City's doorstep, spooked the big money boys. They all pulled their eddies, ran for the hills, left the dream gathering dust."
It was during the war when NUSA Colonel Kurt Hansen asserted control of a portion of Pacifica. Hansen ignored his orders to leave the area after the war, showing his disdain for the Arvin Accord, and carved his own private paradise, eventually becoming some sort of military tyrant.Dossier: Hansen on cyberpunk.netCyberpunkGame on Twitter: "Beyond The Wall Dogtown. A city within Night City. Former Pacifica subdistrict, now a fortress ruled by our favorite renegade colonel — Kurt Hansen. He ignored his exit orders post-Unification War, thumbed his nose at the Arvin Accord, carved out his a private patch of land, and opened up the Black Market. But the powers-that-be don't bat an eye — too much profit in gun trades and fat-cat deals. Kurt's kingdom thrives behind the wall with no laws to curb him, while most dwellers teeter on the brink of poverty. But hey, they're unshackled from corporate reign, right?" With Night City's economy already on a downturn, the effect on Pacifica was disastrous and much of the district was left incomplete and lawless. Construction work was put on permanent hold, leaving most buildings as unfinished hulks of concrete and steel. Not long after, gangs and the homeless moved in. Former Serenisands — controlled by Hansen's people — became a Combat Zone, and at some point was cut-off from the rest of Pacifica.
===Interim===
Although it was originally simply known as the Combat Zone, people started to refer to it as Dogtown due to Hansen and his BARGHEST militia.REDstreams — Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty | Dogtown, Police, Skills and Perks, Car combat (59:40)
Instead of scrapping the cargo aerozep that crashed into the EBM Petrochem Stadium, Dogtown repurposed its nuclear engine to feed the district's energy demand without depending on exterior suppliers.CyberpunkGame on Twitter: "Scraps From The Past. Wondering why this pile of AeroZep scrap, squatting right in the stadium's stomach, ain't been junked for parts yet? Well, it's a vital part of Kurt's wonderland. The nuclear heart nestled inside feeds Dogtown's folks with juice, no bills attached. Toss in water, a roof overhead, all for zip... you begin to grasp the siren song of Hansen's "utopia"."
After establishing Dogtown's Black Market, gun trade and other unsavory dealings turned the former area of Pacifica into a very profitable business. As such, the powers-that-be decided to leave it alone, allowing Hansen to continue as its ruler. With no corporations or outside laws, Dogtown's upper echelon thrived in it, while the rest of the district's citizens teetered on the brink of poverty. For years, many people arrived there in hopes of escaping their past and find a better life within its walls. What they didn't realize is that they were simply changing one overlord for another.CyberpunkGame on Twitter: "A Day In Dogtown. Every day, newcomers make their way past Dogtown's walls full of hope for a better life. Some are looking to hide, but most want to escape their dark pasts. What they don't know is that there's no bright future waiting for them here... They're just changing one form of terror for another: from corpos to warlord Kurt and his loyal dogs — Barghest."
===2077===
By 2077, Dogtown was still under the iron fist of Colonel Hansen and his militia. Around this time, NUSA President Myers's Space Force One was struck down above Night City, eventually crash-landing somewhere within Dogtown.cyberpunk.net

Most of them are named after former US Presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover, Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, and Elizabeth Kress.
*Rumors abound that the Combat Zone is used by the NCPD as a place to dispose of cyberpsychos and other dangerous criminals. (Pacificans banter near the Dogtown wall in Coastview)
*Combat Cab claims to be the only licensed taxi company that can operate within the Combat Zone. (Combat Cab website)
*Nina Chelo, against the wishes of her father, went into Dogtown to scavenge, but got shot by BARGHEST and died not long after.Archived Conversation: Nina Chelo and Peter Chelo; Archived Conversation: Nina Chelo and Lucy Thackery
==Trivia==
*Dogtown takes a lot of elements from Las Vegas.Inside the Game - Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (28:13)
*The "Montaña de Oro Avenue (M-d-O)"Gig: Dogtown Saints is likely a reference to the Montaña de Oro State Park which is located southwest of Morro Bay, a town upon which Night City was built in the Cyberpunk lore.
