Chapter 1​

​

Birth of New Havenwood
​

It was the year 1655. A group of settlers arrived at the New World, beginning their new life in a strange, new world where new opportunities, adventures, and life awaits. New Havenwood City was originally named just "Havenwood". Like most settlers before them, the harsh winter was a great challenge and not many people surive, but the ones who did built their new home, Havenwood, stronger and bigger over many years.

Havenwood became a busy, big colony town, but not as big as Boston or New York City. The biggest source of economical income was the plantation. However, like many colonies of the time, problems occurred which would led to a great revolution. In the third quarter of 18th century, the American Revolution broke out. The citizens of Havenwood, like many other colonies, supported the revolution, though there were few loyalists to the great British Empire lived in the town of that time. The greatest battle of the city's history was the '"Battle of Wood", a bloody battle between the American army led by General Abraham Richardson and the British army. The battle took place in the woods, and it was fast, but bloody battle as the Havenwood colonists used their environmental advantage to attack the British army in multiple surprise attacks, which considered to be more of guerilla tactics.

After American Revolution and the United States of America became an independent nation, Havenwood became part of the State of New Jersei (fictional version state of New Jersey) and it will see tremendous growth in the next centuries.

From Colonial to Industrial​

New Havenwood or just Havenwood during the colonial era and much of the Industrial Age until the early 20th century, will see a tremendous growth over the years. This was the century of growth and progression for them, but as well as changes as society grew and advance alongside the change of history.


After the victory of the American Revolutionary War and the birth of the newly united nation, Havenwood began its first ever expansion. During this time, there was a nearby, smaller town called Little Woods and the mayor of Havenwood, Carl “Woody” Have proposed a merger of the two towns. In 1790, the proposal was made and the deal was sealed. Little Woods became part of Havenwood, which will become one of the modern districts for New Havenwood in the 21st century and it will be named “Little Woodland”. In the late 18th century, the seaport expansion also occurred, which would help to build the backbone for Industrial Revolution, especially in the field of the rail industry.


In the 1800s, the first rail line was built, transporting delivered goods from the cargo shipyard to places like New York City or Boston much easier. Though the Industrial Revolution began in the USA technically in the year 1810, Havenwood was one step ahead and saw their “Industrial Revolution” began in the year 1809, about 2 years after the first freight rail line was made from Havenwood to New York City, which a year or two later, expanded to include Boston and other cities during the era of the Western Expansion. At the start of the 19th century, the major economical income changed from farming to industry and the small town, Havenwood became a big city. Havenwood became the forerunner of the Industrial Revolution, along with other cities across the USA.
