It is small in size and population, and is set in a highly rural and swampy area with few resources. The history of the town and surrounding area is not well defined nor is it well-documented, with even its name's origins not being well understood. A few things are certain though. First, KalKash was originally under heavily influence, but not a town, of the [[Cascadia|Republic of Cascadia]. Aside from this showing in the survival of some Cascadian culture in the town, this bit of its history has been passed along orally. The original mayor was Swaggyxoashe, the leader of the town's predecessor. Said predecessor has since been reinvigorated by former members who started inhabiting it again in October 2025 and then reinstated the town on November 1st. | ||
