History

Etymology

A intersection in New Phork

The city is named after the founder who is called Henry Phork. The city of Phorktown was founded by his ancestors, Which is why the city is named 'New' Phork.

Early Years (1771-1790)

The city of New Phork was founded in 1771 by Henry Phork. Miners were involved in tin mining At the Philimanian east coast in the 1770s about four kilometres east of present-day New Phork. The City was originally a small hamlet of just a few houses and shops besides the Brades River before it grew into a town. It is generally accepted that become established as a town circa 1776, when the brother of Henry Phork, Philip Phork, raised funds from businessmen to hire some miners from Phorktown to open new tin mines here.

Although the early miners suffered a high death toll due to the malarial conditions of the jungle, the tin mines were successful, and the first tin from these mines was exported in 1790. The town, spurred on by tin-mining, started to develop centred on Old Market Square (Milieunt Ita), with roads radiating out towards The mines where miners also started to settled in. The miners formed gangs among themselves; and fights between different gangs were frequent in this period, particularly between factions of New Phork, mainly to gain control of the best tin mines.

Beginning of modern day New Phork (1790-1900)

By 1798, New Phork was the most prosperous town in Philimania, attracting tons of people from smaller communities to come and find work meaning that more houses had to be built, the town started to grow very rapidly. By 1803, the town has become a city. In 1867, a railway line between New Phork and the mines on the east coast was built, increasing accessibility which resulted in the even more rapid growth of the city. The population grew from 86,672 in 1867 to 320,000 in 1880. As development intensified in the 1880s, it also put pressure on sanitation, waste disposal and other health issues. A Sanitary Board was created on 14 May 1890 which was responsible for sanitation, upkeep of roads, lighting of street and other functions. This would eventually become the New Phork City Council. In 1899, New Phork was made capital of Philimania by Mahad Sanders.
