Etymology
The name "Killon" is derived from its early inhabitants, the Galaric Kissii tribe.
History
Carlomann won the Battle of Killon in 1142 against King Konradine I
Killon became the capital of Galaria from 1171-1210. Killon became the capital of the Kingdom of Galaria from 1210-1354
The 8th of August, 1511 saw the coronation of Willburr Augustine Dubois as King of Galaria, tracing his lineage through his father to the second son of King Louis Karlsen and his mother to a third child of King Arnulf of the Bertolvian Dynasty. Already a minor lord, he moved the capital from Travaisé to his own palace at Killon. It remained the capital until the Rhodeve annexation in 1723.
Killon became the official capital of the Ile du Fleurs territory in 1845 and remained the capital to this day.
