Nieuwburg, officially known as Stad Nieuwburg and also known as the City of Nieuwburg, is a city founded by _Lego_.
Lore
Nieuwburg was originally founded as a river port trading hub in the early 14th century. The town quickly gained a reputation as a hub for merchants, with its main street seeing massive daily traffic. Following the siege of 1542, Nieuwburg was decimated, and the current mayor of the town ordered a wall be constructed. Town expansion was practically put to a halt, and the town's economy stagnated.
During the industrial revolution, Nieuwburg was put back in the spotlight as expansion had grown steadily, the city had now encompassed a large portion of the riverbank, and was even expanding southwards too. The town eventually gained a helicopter connection, and as the A92 was built, Nieuwburg was connected to the world again. Nieuwburg would go on to gain a MRT station.
History
Nieuwburg was founded by barleybun after her two year absence on the MRT. She had originally tried to found a new town in the east during Christmas of 2021, with the same idea in mind, but moved to NW38 when she learned of Aurora. The town is inspired by the city of Amsterdam, and in general, the Netherlands.
