Spring Valley is a Senator town founded by Architect_21, located at WN8, WN9, and WN10 on the MRT Western Line. It is the second-largest city in Storalia. The town is located at the foot of the Spring Alps within a lush dark oak forest with some of the town extending into the foothills.
Spring Valley's history is traced back to late 2015 during Architect_21's search for a second town. The original town center was built over a series of small ponds and quickly grew beyond its original boundaries.
At the July 2022 ISM, EliteNeon acquired the town through an IAT.
History
Foundation and early growth (2015–2016)
Spring Valley was founded on December 7, 2015, as Architect_21's second town. During the next few days, the road grid was built over a series of small ponds. The plots of land were eventually flattened and the first buildings started construction. Starting with the original town hall, noted for its blue color. By 2016, Spring Valley's downtown area had been filled in, and the town had expanded into the nearby Mountain biome, including a national park and residential areas. Also in 2016, Spring Valley received both the Councillor and, later, the Mayor rank.
Transit connections (2017–2018)
In its second year of development, several rail companies, including CitiRail and RaiLinQ, took interest in serving the town. In addition, the A8, then managed by _frozen, was built through the town, en route from Storalisburg to the far northwest. A month later, autobus22 built a regional road between Spring Valley and the edge of Wazamawazi, running through the mountain biome. On the other side of town, the city began to expand into the desert located by the highway, and another regional road was built west to Pyeongmun City. EliteNeon constructed the small town of Velmonte along this road. The city had reached Senator rank and official city status by this time, and the Spring Valley Regional Airfield was constructed to the city's northwest.
Hiatus and transferral (2019)
Due to the Epsilon expansion, the MRT Western Line was built, serving the city at WN8, WN9, and WN10, the latter of which is shared with Wazamawazi. In 2019, Architect_21 went on a long hiatus, and the town was transferred to Deputy Mayor Vulpicula for upkeep. During Vulpicula's time as mayor, the IntraRail, RaiLinQ, and CitiRail connections were completed, and the B808 was built to the nearby town of Nauvis. Otherwise, the town had remained relatively unchanged.
Architect_21's return (2021)
In February 2021, the town was transferred back to Architect_21, and project plans were resumed. Plans include revamping the downtown area, connecting the interspersed rail stations, and expanding the city into the nearby birch and dark forest biomes.
