Optinia

Optinia is an urban area in the Capital Region, usually considered a suburb of Beachport, due to their close proximity.
== History ==
Optinia was founded in 1839. It grew into a key trading hub for goods heading into Beachport, further increasing both in population and importance in 1903 when the Ogston-Lintham Railway (now the BSW) reached the village. Optinia's growth was slow during the mid-20th century, as it did not have any important factories. In the 1970s, the town planning council in Optinia realized the potential of the town as a suburb of Beachport, with good transport links already being in place. Many new areas of Optinia were subsequently built, causing the population of Optinia to increase rapidly.
== Transport ==
Optinia lies on the Beachport Southwestern Railway, allowing easy travel into Beachport by rail. There are also good road links, with the E2 highway passing through northern Optinia, as well as the 312 local road. Busses in Optinia are operated by GBT.
