Lore

19th century

Following the founding of many towns along West Zeta in late 19th century, usually by explorers from Gamma and Epsilon, in 1885, a group of explorers from Carnoustie set foot on establishing an outpost over an important location the explorers identified: a strait. After many months of journey across West Zeta, they ended up on a location that fit what they were looking for: a strait. They landed on the northern bank and summited the hills to establish an outpost, and it was called "New Dundee".

With Carnoustie explorers establishing an outpost on a strategic location, they could now control all the ship traffic between Northwest Zeta, where Las Playas and San Francisco is and the rest of the MRT. As a result, Carnoustie became rich by making ships crossing the strait to pay a toll before crossing, and a new settlement grew just off the outpost.

In 1897, explorers from Cirno Bay and Tournesol began exploring the western frontiers form their homelands, and ended up on the point that overlooked New Dundee. One explorer, Pierre Yamada, whose parents originally came from Xilia and moved to Cirno Bay years earlier, recalled in his account: "After I climbed the hills and placed the flags of Cirno Bay and Tournesol at the peak, we saw a settlement in a distance across the strait." They established a new settlement on the southern bank, and named it "Hinanawi Town". It wasn't long until Carnoustie found out this settlement, and according to commander of New Dundee, Thomas Brown's diary, dated to April 7, 1897 said that there was something new he didn't recognize after strong winds blew through the strait, and sailed across the strait to see it for himself, and saw everything foreign about this settlement.

After word of the new settlement got to Carnoustie, Cirno Bay and Tournesol, representatives were sent to meet in Carnoustie in May 13, 1897 to negotiate who should have control over the strait. However, it fell apart without a resolution and because of that, Hinanawi Town and New Dundee constantly fought over control of the strait. It started with the settlements sending representatives across the strait to complain about the situation, but no avail. At December 21, 1897, following months of conflict, Carnoustie sent ships to Hinanawi Town in hopes of resolving the conflict, but as they soon neared Hinanawi Town, ships by Cirno Bay from Las Playas were sailing back and met together. Hearing from the news about this situation, the Cirno Bay ships tried to shoot at Carnoustie ships, which quickly sparked the War of Hinanawi Strait, which caused the entire strait to be closed.

After weeks of war, Carnoustie, Cirno Bay and Tournesol again sent representatives to meet in Carnoustie in February 15, 1898 in hopes of putting the conflict to an end. Following intense discussion, the 1898 Treaty of Carnoustie was signed, saying that Hinanawi Town would be controlled by Carnoustie for 50 years, which Cirno Bay and Tournesol begrudgingly agreed to.

Following the treaty, development of Hinanawi Town was strongly influenced by those of Carnoustie, and both Hinanawi Town and New Dundee began expanding extensively in order to accommodate the growing population. The population of both settlements at early 1897 was 2,247, but by 1910, it grew to 26,845. It was during the time when Azure Lane shipyards were built just north of New Dundee, becoming the first shipyards in northwest Zeta.

20th century

As part of the treaty, Hinanawi Town was given autonomy over the town; previously, control of the town was managed by Cirno Bay and Tournesol. The first mayor of Hinanawi Town was appointed by Carnoustie, called Christopher White, pursued a policy of encouraging people to move in by enacting various initiatives and building railroads to connect the town to the outside world. By 1930, the population of Hinanawi Town grew to 58,950.

During the 20th century, Hinanawi Town became an important stopping point for many of the railroads between the northwest and southwest. Hoping to establish a reputation for its rail, a lot of railcar factories were built in the north. In 1948, a ceremony was held between the current mayor at this time, Simon MacDonald, as well as Carnoustie and Konten officials. In this ceremony, control was handed over from Carnoustie to Konten State, and New Dundee and Hinanawi Town were unified.

Under Konten control, more people from other parts of Konten State settled into the town. The population in 1950 was 79,604.

Modern days

In 1975, Hinanawi Town experienced a burst of economic development following the relocation of Kawashiro Industries from Cirno Bay to Hinanawi Town to better take advantage of the railcar factories it offered and shipyards along Azure Lane.

History

Hinanawi Town was founded in January 10, 2022. The town's landmark, Sword of Hisou and Hisoubashi, a bridge carrying a highway over the strait connecting Misty Lake and Lake 41 was built in this time.

After thinking of building a big suburban area, chimata decided that Hinanawi Town was a good candidate, with North Hinanawi Town being planned to be built across the strait. This led to the town being revived in November 23, 2022, with the road system being expanded and the first buildings being built. However, development would come to a halt a week after, as chimata decided to focus on other towns.

Hinanawi Town experienced another burst of development after Union Line reached the interchange with Arctic Line, at U183. With SimonScholar wanting to discuss about the station placement in Hinanawi Town, Hinanawi Town Central was built.

After more development during July and August 2023, Hinanawi Town reached the rank of Mayor with endorsements from SimonScholar and DNAmaster10.

Etymology

The name was originally coined for another project lightshatterz was on, which was planned to be a Chicago-inspired town located in a spruce biome.
