The area in which Grouse currently resides was originally uninhabited, even as the Oregon Empire dominated the broader northwest region. This was changed when, shortly following the formation of [[Cascadia]], the town of '''Bend''' was founded in what is now Central Grouse in July 2022, by CatPerson136. Bend was the only Cascadian settlement located in the still-sparse BC Interior. Bend's status as the dominant town in the Cascadian north was short lived, as the coastal town of Hope Island, and the former Oregonian town of New Salem (renamed to Avola), soon outpaced Bend in terms of activity, population, and development. | The area in which Grouse currently resides was originally uninhabited, even as the Oregon Empire dominated the broader northwest region.

In 2023, Bend would be one of the territories apart of the Rocky Mountain Rebellion, although the town would go into ruin at some point in 2024, with major cities such as Prince George and Baroque Works, and smaller towns such as Mazama, taking up most of the influence in the region now associated with the Grouse metropolitan area. | In 2023, Bend would be one of the territories apart of the Rocky Mountain Rebellion, although the town would go into ruin at some point in 2024, with major cities such as Prince George and Baroque Works, and smaller towns such as Mazama, taking up most of the influence in the region now associated with the Grouse metropolitan area. | ||
Then, on January 20, 2025, the remains of what was once '''Bend''' had been claimed by Grouse’s founder StarsOverriden. During this time, he developed a spawn area but with no success in achieving a proper stagnate population. He remained hopeful for a few months before then becoming disinterested in EarthMC. With the help of what was Cascadia’s then Home Affairs Secretary [[LadyEsquimalt]], he transferred ownership to Pancen who had been residing in Augusta, Vermont. He was an immigrant from the [[Aurora:North Sea Republic|North Sea Republic]] | Then, on January 20, 2025, the remains of what was once '''Bend''' had been claimed by Grouse’s founder StarsOverriden.

Throughout the course of mid-2025, Grouse experienced a population boom, renaming to simply "Grouse” after it had been named '''Grouse Mountain''' by StarsOverriden. It quickly outpaced towns like Avola and Mazama to become the largest settlement in Cariboo County by far, and eventually the whole of Northern Cascadia. It became the county seat in mid-2025, taking the role from Avola. Cariboo County itself experienced a massive population growth as well, previously being a relatively insignificant and sparsely populated rural county in the north in contrast to the traditional "urban north" along the coast of British Columbia. | Throughout the course of mid-2025, Grouse experienced a population boom, renaming to simply "Grouse” after it had been named '''Grouse Mountain''' by StarsOverriden.

'''Dabbied’s Bakery''' was one of the more notable businesses as it served as the first bakery to be created in town. Owned by Dabbied, his influence in town prompted usage of the market stalls in the town center. A variety of items were sold, such as an underrated business that was owned by MC_Bubbls that promoted 3g mending – the lowest price in the entirety of EarthMC at the time of its creation. Filled with inspiration from businesses springing up, [[ka_tie]] made and advertised the first grocery market in the town. Her store had become popular among residents and tourists alike as it became a pit spot for free food and resources. To this day, the building still stands with its copper roof just north of the market center. | '''Dabbied’s Bakery''' was one of the more notable businesses as it served as the first bakery to be created in town.

As town politics became more popular in town, this came with unwarranted drama. DrPogFoot, a notable resident and businessman, had begun to create a monopoly on land that Grouse offered. He owned so much at one point that the town had to buy from him in order to accommodate and provide homes for new residents. The consequences of his actions then led to a chunk resell bill that limited just how much a resident could sell. Dissatisfied with the decision that council passed, he then ran for councillor between the months of June and July and promoted a capitalist campaign that focused on giving businesses more power. The council at the time was dissatisfied with his actions, which led many to believe that DrPogFoot would undermine the government. They gradually came to accept him, and as [[ka_tie]] took over for NightGhost821 as the new town manager, she took the risk and promoted him to deputy. DrPogFoot to this day is highly regarded for the work he completed, even more so as he, Pancen, and [[ | As town politics became more popular in town, this came with unwarranted drama.

The town continued to see development as more jobs were created. Infrastructure became a subject of importance as [[ka_tie]] hired a resident by the name of hx06a (formally known as med_hadi_a). He had become the first Director of Infrastructure and held this title until December of 2025. Under hx06a’s itinerary, the town saw improvement in poor areas that lacked any infrastructural progress. Town projects had also become more increasingly popular, which in turn promoted residential growth and made Grouse more appealing for other Cascadians to visit. One of the most notable to move to the city was melvinm04, the mayor of WildWood, who saw Grouse as an opportunistic venture. Another resident by the name of [[Mjap04]] had used Grouse’s popularity as a way to create a political party in the city that promoted the idea of seceding from Cascadia called the '''Amethyst Party''', but it didn’t get far. | The town continued to see development as more jobs were created.

On September 20, 2025, a group of hunters that were a part of [[California]] had been stalking hx06a as he was in the middle of building roads in the western district of [[Grouse]]. He called in DrPogFoot, the then Secretary of Defense, who went to go and reprimand the hunters. As he was surveying the area he had gotten jumped and lost his items. DrPogFoot later called in reinforcements and with a whopping nine person company including the then President [[BergenFly]], they charged into battle. The fight only lasted for a minute, with [[Cascadia]] taking a major loss with all nine people dying and losing their items in the 2v9. | |||
