HISTORY
Eastern State was first explored during the late 1400s. It is said that it was first settled in around 1499 by English explorers and Spanish explorers. Most settlements occured along the eastern seaboard on the southern half. Old structures from the past remain, but most areas did not maintain their former name. Natives lived sparsely along the east coast of Eastern State. Most lived inland in the desert region and along the west coast. Settlement quickly expanded in the 1700s with white people moving into the desert region. Many wars took place among settlers and indians which caused the for forts to be built around towns and settlements. In 1820, Eastern State's population reached to 1.5 million people. The biggest city at the time was Congress. It was also the main immagration center for outsiders. All business and industry blossumed around Congress. The city in 1820 had just over 530,000 people.
