HISTORY: The town was platted on the northern banks of the Moreno River and struggled with farming. It was not until the Acero Mill started did the town grow and succeed into one of the best communities east of the Evergreen Mountains. The town hit a economic depression which had the town core and income levels drop. As of now, the city legalized gambling within "Casino Row" making it the only city on Douglas Island to allow gambling. This has helped the city regain status, and now a entertainment capital.
