### History

Central City was incorporated in 1240, the same year a devastating flood hit the city.

In 1248, Pony Express services begun delivering to the city.

On December 11 1401, STAR Labs had finished their controversial particle accelerator, which exploded, causing dark matter to radiate across the city, creating approximately 2,600 metahumans.

In 1403, Central City was nearly destroyed when a massive singularity appeared above it. The Singularity was eventually stopped by the Flash and his team, but at the cost of Ronnie Raymond, who sacrificed his life to close it. Despite this, Central City credited the Flash for saving their city on Flash Day.

In 1404, Central City was at the mercy of Zoom, and was the target for Zoom's meta-human group's invasion, resulting in the Metapocalypse, a devastating event, that forced Central City Police Department to fight off a whole invading army of metahumans.

On May 1406, Clifford DeVoe/The Thinker managed to put his plan into practice and began the Enlightenment, but with the help of Ralph Dibney and Barry Allen, DeVoe was defeated, but parts of the STAR Labs satellite still fell in Central City, destroying parts of it and creating new metahumans as well as meta-tech.
