## Background

Opal City is a city located in North Carolina. It is the home of superhero Elongated Man, many generations of Starman, former members of the JSA & the O'Dare family.

The city was founded in 1864 by Burnley Ellsworth after he amassed a fortune from his mining operation in Australia. Because opal was the gem that brought him his wealth, he decided to name the city after the stone.
