With a 2022 population of 180,368, it is the fourth-largest city in the Greater East Plains and most populous city in Sequoia. The city was founded on July 25, 2021 by STthecat. The city is Senator as of July 1, 2022.
History
On July 14, 2021, Dogwood mayor STthecat applied for a bid for P57 station of the newly completed MRT Plains Line Extension 4. This caused speculations that Dogwood would have slowed down development and a new second town would be formed.
Parkland was subsequently founded on the parcel of land on July 25, 2021, just hours after it was allocated to STthecat at the July 2021 ISM. The town indeed made significant development for the next few days with the construction of the new Mall of Plains, which was Magnolia's attempt to building a large outlet mall in the southeastern part of the New World. At this point, STthecat decided to pause development on Dogwood, which soon became the "Lilygrove" of the DP City Council.
On November 23, 2021, Parkland was promoted to Councillor, followed by a promotion to Mayor by Frumple on December 8th. Soon after achieving Mayor, Parkland gradually surged in development, and on June 17, 2022, STthecat submitted Parkland for Senator. Parkland was unanimously approved for promotion by a vote of 7-0 on July 1st and Parkland Frampton Airfield was pasted in the following day.
After Parkland's promotion to Senator, development became stagnated although there were attempts to expand the city. However, the Parkland city government announced the Capital 2024 project in September 2023 for the city's goal towards Governor and beyond and potentially become one of the largest cities in the Greater East Plains region in the long run. Since then, work towards the rank of Governor has been accelerating.
