Wheeling was founded on August 17, 2026, joining the Commonwealth of America the following day. It was built alongside the neighboring towns of [[Nostra:Pittsburgh|Pittsburgh]] (mayor Moxicodone) and Allegheny (mayor Yapannn), forming the informal "Pittsburgh Metro" cluster. Rather than three unrelated towns, the metro is a deliberate collaboration: despite differing build styles between the three mayors, the group has aimed to make the towns read as one continuous "urban fabric," including a shared street grid, a canal, and an ice rail line linking Wheeling and Pittsburgh. A joint civic building shared between all three towns has been proposed but not yet built. During the [[Nostra:America#Chicago_crisis|Chicago crisis]], Wheeling and Pittsburgh briefly joined New York before rejoining America on August 18, 2026.
