In Scovern, a historic town (Mescon, Vestelian: Historisk by, Frellandic: Sögufrægur bær) is an official designation given to towns with a modern population under 100,000 people that were of particular historical importance or notoriety prior to the unification of Scovern in 1611. The term was introduced by the LFP government of Rolf Gunnar Rasmussen in 1974 to encourage more tourism to more rural and lesser-known parts of Scovern.
