Cape Cambridge is a city situated on a cape in the Zeta region of the New World owned by PaintedBlue. It is located in Ward 5 and located near Oceanside. The town is part of the Federated States of the New World and also the capital and largest city of the State of Meridia. The town style differs from district to district. It strives to go with a semi-realistic feel.
History
Cape Cambridge was founded on September 18th, 2020 after PaintedBlue's original town of Lilygrove seemed very unsatisfactory to him. Furthermore, PaintedBlue was losing interest in building in the town of Yalebrook. Therefore, he decided to make a third town that could get him up to Governor. He was thinking of building across from Oceanside to expand Meridia, however there was a town there already called Grafton. After doing some research on the town, he built a road and called it Cape Celina. However, Celina was already a town, and it didn't make sense to call it that, so he renamed it to Cape Cambridge instead. He then planned out roads, expanded the original road, made city blocks, and planned out some more.
Later on, he wanted to help make a ferry service between his town, and Oceanside, so he built a seaport which could only serve Lake 49 at the time. Eventually, a canal was built between lake 49 and lake 20, allowing more sea connections to be made. During the September 2020 ISM, he IATd the town of Grafton, and started a rail link to the other side (which he gave to Oceanside). He then demolished his side because he wanted to build an airfield there later. PaintedBlue has plans for a spaceport as well on the East Cove area later. Eventually, PaintedBlue managed to acquire the rank of Councillor for the town, making it his second ranked town. Cape Cambridge eventually obtained the rank of Mayor as development on the town swiftly increased. On the 14th of March, PaintedBlue submitted the town for Senator, and on March 28th, was approved for promotion. Currently, PaintedBlue is attempting to attain the rank of Governor for the city.
As the city was expanding, PaintedBlue decided to make use of the peninsula near the seaport. He then began work on the Seaport Village Project, a project that would turn the rest of the peninsula into a car-free waterfront shopping and dining complex. The city is also set to host the 2021 MRT Summer Games, with the MRTSG Complex being built recently for it.
