Shanty

Overview
Shanty is a small, mostly make-shift town half-way between Owensburg and Awesome City. Because of its size and proximity, it is under the juristiction of the Owensburg City-State.

Pre-Virus History
Known as the city of Greenville in those days, the town had always been a rather small one. It was a dying community that basically serviced the consumer needs of the local and surrounding populus.

Post-Virus History
After the Virus, the town started to expand rather quickly as immigrants looking for a place to hide during the Age of Chaos were reminded of a quaint little town with few troubles. It soon expanded three-fold, with many of the residence living in abandoned stores, tents, poorly-constructed shacks and even their vehicles. Because of this, Greenvillie's name was derogitorally called Shantytown by the locals, which soon evolved into the simpler "Shanty".

Its over-abundance of people soon became a thing of past people whom who were known not to have a job were forceably kicked out by the local government in 37 PV. The population shrank considerable as most of these immigrants moved to Owensburg or Pinegroove, often taking employed members of their families with them.

Contemporary
Shanty isn't nearly as big as it was and it continues to shrink as economic opportunities arise in Owensburg, Pinegroove, Riverside and Blackbog. Nearly all of the doctors and technicians left as well and after suffering a harmless but alarming bout of Furless, the local goverment agreed to be annexed into Owensburg in exchanged for a steady supply of medical equipment.

Today, Shanty mostly serves as a farmland and a rest-stop for tired travelers. It also happens to be the HQ for Reclamations Unlimited.
