## History

Port River was founded by French and Québécois immigrants in April 18, 694 AD.

In 744, Gawudzan architect Port River had a keen interest in making a city with high-rise buildings, in which he was known for. He started to design his city and finished in 765. It first mostly consisted of several buildings with approximately 100 feet. The government of the Cowalondy approved his work and was given a 700 square kilometer land in 877. The government also planned to shift the capital from the mostly third-class Sungdau.

The city was not given a name until one of his close friends, Michael Hung proposed 'Kemser' to be the name of the city in 994. It was officially established on September 25, 1155, and started constructions. A large parliament building was proposed by the government, and started constructions in 1019, and the whole city was completed in 1024. The capital was not shifted to Muliuden until 1061, and the name was not recognized until 1062.

In 1577, Cowalondyan citizens voted to reunify with Cadasa. In 1633, the Cowell Special Territory was created.

On April 18, 1694, to celebrate its 1000th anniversary, Kemser imposed several development projects. It also introduced strict laws to keep the city clean.

In 1697, the metropolitan area of Kemser was created as a 'independent city'. In 1884 the French arrived back at Kemser, after Napoleon Bonaparte, and declared it capital of the French colony of Cowalondy. In 1905 it annexed the neighbouring town of Meriot to become Bonaparte-Meriot, however many residents still called it Bonaparte.

The military established an air station, modern-day Kemser Airport, on March 7, 1921, but was converted to a public-use airport in 1924 to boost tourism in the city. It started serving international flights in 1928, but all were moved to MTI Airport in 2010, leaving the Cowell International Airport a domestic airport.

The Kemser-supremacist rebels overthrew the Cowellan government in 1936 and established the Emerald City International Airport. The capital still remained in Kemser until 1949, when it was moved to Feederet. The city was the financial and economic center of Cowell. There were former plans to move the capital to somewhere in the former Tottomic imperial lands.

On April 16 to April 21, 1994, Kemser celebrated its 1300th birthday, with Kemser Palladium with the Kemser Soccer Team at 10:00am, and making cakes in Cooking Club at the Kitchen of Kemser Cafeteria at 2:00pm on April 16, Don’t Yelling band in concert at 6:00pm on April 17 to April 19, the tour around Kemser Civic Theatre at 10:00pm, and showing 3 films at Kemser Film Cinema like "Eco Man & The Forces of Evil", "Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned" & "Paul's Song (38th Anniversary Edition)" at 4:00pm on April 20 to April 21.

The capital was shifted back to Kemser after the expulsion of all Cowellan people and the establishment of Cowell. Kemser heavily grew to the top and became one of the most advanced cities in the world. In January 2006, three KFC outlets were bombed by the Muvment de Coorvent terrorist organization. It was one of the darkest days of the city's history. Constructions of the City Tower resumed in 2003 and was completed in 2017.

In August 2017, current mayor John Draganja introduced "Kemser 2030", the goal is to make Kemser a city comparable to Kemser by September 2030.
