## History

### Creation

The idea to create build Blockston City began during a visit in Toronto. Desire to make a much more realistic city than Coulton turned into a reality on July ‎31, ‎2018 as Blockston City was born.

On April 9, 2022, the entire city of Blockston City along with the country of Sacatia was restarted due to creative differences in the city's future. To allow the city to become more realistic, it would be built on a water world and the land would be built along with the buildings.

### Final Design

On October 29, the rebuild was scratched as the entire country would be redesigned this time with mods and a new layout for Blockston City. The redesigned rebuild was officially started on February 10, 2023 and will be the last time the city is rebuilt.

The city began construction on the east side at Blockston Bay in the district of Central Square, a modern residential district full of many attractions. Work on the city's subway system began becoming the first real subway system in the Takeawalk Minecraft Universe.

While the metro system is currently still in production as only about half of the stops have been named, the lines are complete. Blockston City's metro system uses a grid-like structure to fully cover the city's major attractions and intersections and expands lightly into the neighbouring cities Kingdon and Parson. The system is divided into six lines that each cover different and intersecting parts of the city.

    The red line, known as the Downtown Line, covers the city's north and south downtown districts in an east-to-west direction. The orange line, known as the Delta St. Line, covers the eastern side of the city including downtown, Rubyshire, and the neighbouring city Parson before ending at Parson International Airport. The yellow line, or Airport Line, connects the city's two airports in a north-to-south direction and intersects with the red, orange, blue, an purple lines. The green line, or Grand Central Line, starts at Kingdon and ends in Parson in a north-to-south direction under the state's biggest streets: Blockston St. and Hammond St. The blue line, or Main St. Line, covers Main St. which sits at the centre of the city in an east-to-west direction and merges into the Central Sacatia Highway. The purple line, or Rubyshire Line, covers the southern parts of the city including the outer borders of the district Rubyshire and the Grand Central Mall.

### Railroads

The coastal line runs along the coast of Blockston including Crawford, Everton, and Alshere, before heading into the neighbouring state of Tonario. The inland line runs through the centre of Blockston to Danver, then continues into Tonario.

Blockston City also contains a public transit train system called Blockston City Railway (BCR) which serves the greater Blockston City area including Hondale, Kingdon, Linsburg, Millard Creek, Parson, and Terrance.
