=== Reign of Ohio ===
Columbus was mostly left alone for much of the time Ohio had occupied the buildings. It wouldn't be until May 2023 when Ohio would begin to exercise their control over the area, destroying what was left of the 7/11 and building a white concrete building. The month after, a resident built their house north of the smelting building. By July 2023, much of former Columbus was now under threat of demolition, as many plots were labeled as "Construction" Plots.

Before Columbus

Before Columbus was founded, Arca was a member of Toronto, Canada from May 13 to June 4, 2022.

History

Early Days

The morning after Arca created Columbus, he was perm banned for 2.7 until being unbanned in the afternoon of June 5. After this, he would bring in two of his friends to be the first two residents of Columbus (Derpyboi89 and CNS). The first 8 chunks of the town were dedicated to Arca's house, CNS' house, Derp's house, farms, a mine, and a park. The town then went on to expand eastward to build an ice road station as part of the Canadian Ice Road Network. From this branch, a Chick-fil-A and a smelting building was built

Remodeling

On July 7, 2022 Arca changed the look of all of Columbus by removing the small roads in exchange for one chunk roads as well as flattening the town to y=78. The first road to be built was I-70 running east-west from the center of the town. branching off from this, more roads were built (refer to detailed map of Columbus). Over the next few days, a road was extended north to connect with the town of Ohio.

More residents

On July 20, Arca began inviting more residents to Columbus and amassed a total of about 10 residents. These first residents were: SlovenlyStore45, followed by Little_furry_boi. On July 22 and 23, he would invite BlueAphids, TheGusFring, ItsFluby, Christmmas, and Zachary121122. These residents were placed in the residential district in the south of the town (refer to detailed map of Columbus).

Decline & Deletion

By the time August started, Arca continued to expand the town as his residents began going inactive. Arca continued buying chunks and building roads to accommodate for more residents. He also began contruction of a new building, One Columbus Center. This building would only be partially completed, as on September 3, Arca quit EarthMC for good and deleted Columbus.

Post-Deletion

Map of Columbus with streets and buildings labeled, August 22, 2022

Columbus remained in the wilderness for the next 10 days. Any remaining valuables and materials in chests were stolen and buildings were damaged. On September 13, the town of Ohio (then owned by You_Go_Slavia) expanded to claim many of the buildings. After some time, the current claims of Ohio over Columbus were done and Ohio was traded from You_Go_Slavia to NFISH2021.

Reign of Ohio

Columbus was mostly left alone for much of the time Ohio had occupied the buildings. It wouldn't be until May 2023 when Ohio would begin to exercise their control over the area, destroying what was left of the 7/11 and building a white concrete building. The month after, a resident built their house north of the smelting building. By July 2023, much of former Columbus was now under threat of demolition, as many plots were labeled as "Construction" Plots.

List of Columbus buildings under threat of demolition

(As of July 3, 2023)

  • One Columbus Center
  • Smelting Building
  • Gorky Memorial
  • Columbus Welcome Center
  • CNS's house
  • Derp's Second House
  • 7/11 (Now a white concrete building)

The map below is a visualization of these plots that are currently under threat of demolition. I will be monitoring this demolition closely.

Post-Ohio

In November 2023, Ohio unclaimed all the land formerly named Columbus, likely as a result of the Overclaim Update. As of January 2024, the neighboring town of TerraCorp has begun to expand into Columbus. So far, it's only expanded into Ohio Lane and all buildings are still intact.

Future Plans

Prior to deletion, Arca had plans for what he wanted Columbus to look like, which included future streets and buildings. Obviously, these plans fell short. These plans were created on July 8, 2022, and were estimated to be completed by November 2022, had the town continued. Below are the plans.

2022-06-10 00.01.58.png Arca's House June 6, 2022 Arca's house was where Arca lived for the entirely of Columbus's life. His basement served as his storage room. Following the deletion, Arca's house was mostly kept intact except for his storage room, which was literally completely cleared out.
2023-04-16 17.03.11.png Derp's House June 5, 2022 The second building to be construction Columbus. Originally, the house faced east, as a former small road used to run between Arca's and Derp's house. On July 14, 2022, Arca disassembled the building in order to orient the house to face south, so that the house could face the new I-70.
Screenshot 2023-04-14 014802.png CNS' House June 4, 2022 The first building to be constructed in Columbus. it originally was located one chunk north of its current location, and also faced east. On July 7, 2022, Arca disassembled the house and relocated it to its present position in order to give way to I-70, which now stands in the house's original location. From June 4 to July 7, the current site of CNS's house was a farm for carrots and potatoes
Screenshot 2023-04-14 014605.png Welcome Center July 7, 2022 Built for new residents of Columbus, it was meant to give information about Columbus, Canada/Niagara, and EarthMC. This building had a basement, which contained a map illustrating the area of US state of Ohio (Seen below, in the gallery). All the signs and maps from the building have been stolen following the deletion. From June 4 to July 6, the current site of the Welcome Center was a wheat farm.
