Lampland (Originally named Lamptopia)

Present-day Lampland is a small village located near the lower East side of Brooklyn. Lampland was originally founded by Louise and Charles Lampington in the year 1792. Louise and Charles were originally from the Swedish countryside, both of them worked as fishermen. After the first copper mine opened in the outskirts of Lamptopia, word spread of the cities' unique structure and culture. By 1796, Many other Swedish countryfolk had come and supported the now thriving village of Lamptopia. Before too long every corner of town had a copper mine. Soon there was word of a copper shortage. Many miners lost their jobs due to cuts. Sadly, Lamptopia was destroyed in the devastating War of the Potato Farmers. 1,078 citizens were lost that sad winter day in 1802. The remaining population rebuilt what was left of Lamptopia and formed now what is Lampland. In 1819, Lampland reached its peak as it became one of the greatest trading posts for copper.
