History

Heampstead logo

Heampstead was founded on June 28, 2016, by MikeRoma. It was created to replace Asuka, a town MikeRoma gave away to _Kastle. The town grew quickly as many new buildings were built, including the Heampstead Waterport. Heampstead was promoted to Councillor on July 20, 2016 and Mayor on August 16, 2016.

When the town was promoted to Senator on December 25, 2016, Kings Cross Railway Terminal was pasted in and became Heampstead's main transit hub. Shortly after Kings Cross Railway Terminal was pasted onto the server, the Heampstead Heliport was constructed. This was the first form of air transport that the city had. Then, thomasfyfe had proposed an extension of the MRT Mesa Line that would have made Heampstead the terminus for the line. megascatterbomb built the extension, which was later extended past Heampstead by godzilltrain.

At the May 2020 ISM, Mojang1014 became the Mayor of Heampstead after submitting an IAT for the town. On February 10, 2024, Heampstead was officially merged into Deadbush, becoming a part of Deadbush's North Metropolitan Zone.

Heampstead's name was inspired by a town in Long Island, New York.
