borough founded in the early 18th century
agrarian paradise throughout the centuries
first in the region to become electrified, and to have a newspaper
nothing earth shattering to report other than a frustrated invasion force that failed to get very far into the neighboring county

First established as a Fort by the Spanish in 1769. Became a proper metropolis in the early 20th century. Pretty new. It was a total backwater town until the railroad connection in 1878, and remained a pretty unremarkable place until a combination of mass immigration and the military turning into a stronghold significantly bolstered its population and infrastructure. It underwent a decline post-WW2 until the 70s when it became a tuna fishing hub, attracting thousands of new businessmen (coincidentally this is also how both sides of my family got here), and continued to grow in prosperity as it became a hub for biotech. Today it's the safest major American city, the largest immigration crossing point in the world, a top tourist spot, and consistently ranked as one of the best places in America to live.

Athens.
Very fucking /his.

At least as 700 AD we have a saint that's been our church since then

Suburb that was just dirt and farmland a few decades ago

>TFW no history in this boring state

Pireaus
Pretty Veeky Forums senpai

Before 12th century at least, was a churchtown (a few houses big enough for a church to be built) in the 12th century.

But user, here's a pile of dirt that some Indians lived on 1500 years ago :^)

Village that started out as a Roman farming estate is Gaul, like most of the villages around here.

>Budapest

Very.

1873 actually

indians probably lived here

was founded sometime in the 1800s

still tiny and insignificant

Last terrorist attack was 7 years ago
It woke the entire town and half the county up.
Luckily the bomb didn't kill anyone
Guess the country

Belarus ?

Nope
A country that people have forgotten bombs are still going off every few weeks

Serbia ? Or Danemark perhaps ?
Dunno mate.

Ireland

nope
not the Republic of Ireland

Northern Ireland ?

Apparently its at least possible that my town has been lived in since the time of the roman occupation of Britain.
This does make sense desu seeing as it lies in a protected valley near an easy crossing point of the Pennines.
The borders of three different counties used to run through the town as well which is pretty cool

>the Spanish came here in the late 1700s
>this makes it "old"

I hate America.

Bingo
People seem to think that there is total peace here now but in reality bombs are still going off. Usually at least 3 bombs a month and a kneecapping or two.
Thankfully the terrorists are some of the worst in the world and have a success rate of 1/20 or so. Most of them fail to go off or blow up too early
I live in a overwhelmingly unionist area that's not in a flashpoint or in a city, so terror attacks are more rare here but they still happen. London pays no attention.

>founded in 1863
>no history of note besides a polio outbreak in 1944
Oh and a 10 year old girl was murdered and dismembered about 7 years ago.

...

Literally Elfs.
Inland was so radically different than any sea/trading route, that it was basically a different culture until almost 1100s. Where some magic kingdom unification magic centralized power under a bunch of cool warlords, and suddenly the Elfs where not longer Elfs.

Permanent inland settlements as far back as history goes.

I live in a little dutch farmer's town. It's really comfy, and has aparently been around for as long as the 9th century but not very Veeky Forums. Used to be the land of a monestary, and it used to be two towns before they merged together in the last century (and 3 towns the century before).

The oldest building is the reformed church, dates at least to the early 12th century. Has been renovated after the war though.

Chapter I
From the time before memories were formed, primeval forest breathing in deeply each spring and exhaling an explosive magnificence of red, auburn, maroon, orange, black, pale yellow, and off-white each fall. A deep winter sleep only to see the signs of first man, first eyes awake, breathing in deeply again.
Algonquian-Huron-Iroquois had arrived.
They stepped carefully through the North Eastern woodlands, those decedents of curious nomads following the woolly-mammoth and other large game across the summer air of the Baring Peninsula a few languages ago.
In that forest, those people manipulated their environments in such tempered psyche; pre-industrial, pre-beast of burden, pre-large scale metallurgy, gave us a reflection of our pasts. Man's pasts.
Man's as species working in contact with nature. On the cusp, wholly engaged on the man-nature dichotomy during the split. Here these people, call them what you will formed sophisticated government and tribal relations the envy of any anarchist, libertarian, or political-realists around.
It wasn't all fun and games. American Elves prancing through the No way, there were still medical ailments that herbal treatments, constant massage, and family nurture cannot cure. And warfare was not unknown. Food was plentiful at least, as the forest was rich with game semi-managed the people who has passed the sacred techniques down the line...

> South Ireland

Neolithic artworks, close to major Neolithic sites, one site is aligned to the rising and setting of the sun on the winter solstice, connected to Brittany's Megalithic sites.

The town is named after a major battle in the 15th century.

Cromwell confiscated land here in the 16th century, Protestants controlled the town for a long period.

Founded around 1104BC, according to some estimates may be the oldest still standing city in Western Europe. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cádiz#History

I genuinely wonder how it feels like

Bologna. Easy one if you have lived there yourself.

Not very, It was settled by German immigrants in the 1840s

I live in Rome. So i guess is pretty Veeky Forums

Razed to the ground 44 times, baby.
Only complete idiots would settle at the crossroads of history.

Honduras?

For an eternal soul, every stone is an altar.

Been a settlement since 2000 bc, became a town in the 11th century.

first thrace of temproary human presence: 9000 bc
>First settlements: 6000-4000 bc
>First urban settlement: 750-600 bc

That's completely false though, the 1104 bc is solely based on Greek myths, there's no trace of Urban settlements there before 800-750 bc, Phoenician didn't settle the Western Med before the late IX century bc- Early VIIIth

>grandparents' old town: rural area outside of Napoli, which was continuously inhabited since the Greek colonies during the Bronze Age
>current town: suburban and former farmland in USA, around two centuries since establishment of town
where I live is better at the moment, so I'll sacrifice historical significance for living conditions.

Was home to some gaels
Vikings came over in the year 900 and set up a town.
1169 Normans invaded and took over town and reinforced it.
1649 cromwell attacks and massacres it.
1798 Irish rebels take over it for like a week.

Belgrade, right?

Florence.

The sad thing is that there are too many possibilities here. If you were inplying you lived in the Netherlands too then I suppose Rotterdam? Otherwise the capitals of modernism & multiculturalism would be LA or NYC so that'd be a safe guess. Either way I feel sorry for you.

It's more historical than Rome, Jerusalem, and Beijing combined desu

That's natural, a lot of adolescents feel impotent rage towards their daddies :^)

you're right

Man fuck those rent prices, $3,000 for a two bedroom apartment

Yeah it's gotten really crazy in like the past fifteen years. Sometimes in poorer neighborhoods, you can see six or seven people splitting a two-bedroom.

Pretty good for a town with only 2000 people
Also try and guess

I live by the oldest mosque in the world

???

~600 AD
>town privileges
never

not at all

So London?

well my hometown in the U.S. was founded in 1837 but stayed a shitty little village until about 20 years ago

but the Acambaro municipality in Guanajuato, Mexico where my parents are from is way more interesting.
they're from "nuevo chupicuaro" the old chupicuaro was flooded to make a dam but when they were building it they found hundreds, maybe even thousands, of pre-Colombian artifacts from around 500 BCE, also the nearby town of Acambaro was founded in1526.

pic related is a chupicuaro statuette

>in Oregon, USA
It started as a railroad station/post office by some guy that didn't like the guy who made the first railroad station/post office about 3 miles away.

Funnily enough, our post office was more popular somehow, and now our town is about 5x bigger than the other one.

Belgrade, yup.

Istanbul.
Oh yes, but I hate how it looks now. I was on a boat tour a few days ago and I couldn't believe what we had done to this great city in the last few years. I read people like Tanpınar and it hurts to see so much concrete. I admire Florence on this subject, they know how to build a proper historical and modern city.

After Rome, it's the most Veeky Forums tier European city. And definitely one of the most Veeky Forums city in the world.

Paris, right?

Not at all. It's younger than 25 yrs. old.

Are you there willingly user? Or are you stuck there. The countryside is nice in this country.

Ill give you a hint. Its in Holland and also filled with white trash from the Hague.

The core of our city is a massive and well-preserved Roman palace from the beginning of the 4th century.

I'm in Belfast too you guys

Wanna meet for a pint?

Also don't exaggerate there isn't multiple bombs going off every month

>Also don't exaggerate there isn't multiple bombs going off every month
If you take the province as a whole there are usually failed bomb attacks on police every few weeks, especially in shitholes like Lurgan
I'm counting bombs that don't go off as well
