Dogwood is a town located south of Rank Resort and south-west of Broxbourne, founded on April 6, 2021 by STthecat. The town is Councillor as of May 19, 2021. The town is currently unconnected to the New World Highway system, with its only connection being the Madison Beach Harbour Center. The Dogwood Metro Rail will be the city's light rail system when it opens in July 2021. Dogwood is a part of Sequoia.
History
On April 6, 2021, after hours of finding land, STthecat settled in an unclaimed land located south of Rank Resort and immediately claimed it. He named the town Dogwood after a street of the same name in the Roblox game of Brookhaven. Development began hours after its founding, and the first completed build was the first location of Wuster's Burgers.
The Madison Beach Ferry Terminal (present-day Dogwood Madison Beach Cruise Center) opened to much fanfare on April 10, 2021, but no gate requests were open due to the town being unranked.
Dogwood joined the United Northwestern Organisation on May 4, 2021 as its first metropolitan planning organisation. Dogwood is also a member of the Federated States since October 8, 2021.
On May 19, 2021, the official flag of Dogwood was unveiled at Blackhawk Park, shortly after it was promoted to [Councillor]. Beyond [Councillor], Dogwood will expand north-west with the partial expansion of Madison Beach and a new industrial district known as Blackhawk. The inaugural Dogwood Deputy Mayor Elections was held on May 27, 2021 to decide the upcoming deputy mayor. There was a voting segment that lasted for five days before the final 2 were decided by STthecat. The Deputy Mayor-elect, Minecraft252 was sworn in on June 3rd. On June 12, 2021, LabCylian became Dogwood's Councillor.
On June 15, 2021, the first world-edited house in Dogwood, 11A Wolf Drive was completed. The house was technically a duplicate of its neighbour, 11 Wolf Drive. The next day, the Councillor Expansion was completed with the completion of 12 Wolf Drive. Works have begun on [Mayor] endorsement preparation.
On October 14, 2021, after months of development hiatus, mayor STthecat announced the expansion of Blackhawk district or the Blackhawk Coast Expansion, which would include the following projects:
- A renaming and extension of part of the existing Wolf Drive into a rebranded Lakeshore Parkway, which would connect the Madison Parkway to the A892.
- A new intercity bus terminal next to the Port Blackhawk towers, which would be named as the Blackhawk Coast Bus Terminal
- Reclamation of a short water body in Blackhawk into the new Blackhawk Coast Pond (since been absorbed into the Blackhawk Coast National Park by the Federated States)
On May 17, 2022, a major rebuilding and expansion of the existing Madison Beach Harbour Center was approved by the DP City Council, with work commencing on May 20th. The renamed Dogwood Madison Beach Cruise Center was completed on June 1, 2022.
On February 10, 2024, the Dogwood Redevelopment Plan was announced, the first new development in the town in almost two years and the first under Sequoian governance. The plan called for the relocation of the existing Port Blackhawk container port to Apex district, which was already occupied by an Apex Logistics distribution center at the time, as well as the second redevelopment of Blackhawk district into a financial and residential waterfront.

Air
Dogwood currently has a seaplane terminal near Blackhawk Park, which serves as a destination for Sandstone Airr's helicopter flights as well as two HYdra seaplane flights to Beachview and Vermilion and a JiffySea seaplane flight to Hamblin. The terminal will be demolished when Dogwood reaches [Senator] and all seaplane and helicopter service will be moved to the Airport area.
When Dogwood reaches [Senator], it will be served by the planned Dogwood-Broxbourne International Airport (DogBrox), facilitating more air connections to and from Dogwood.
Road
Dogwood will be served by the A892 once the extension opens in 2024, which will connect the city with the New World Highway System and other cities such as Segav Sal, Winterville and Miu Wan. The existing Blackhawk portion of Wolf Drive will be designated as the Lakeshore Parkway, which will also extend the parkway to the A892.
As part of the A892 project, the DP City Council has approved an intercity bus terminal to serve the city, named as the Blackhawk Coast Bus Terminal, which would initially consist of 3 bus bays. Dogwood Metro Rail's Orange Line serves the bus terminal, relocating from its present terminus at Port Blackhawk. The Blackhawk Coast Bus Terminal opened on October 16, 2021.
