Nestled in a snow capped basin, SIlverton is the primary hideout for the hermit Txkeykeeper. Named after an old Colorado Mining town in the San Juan mountains, it is attempted to be constructed in the style of an old west mining community. The town was meant to be divided into a few small districts but thus far has not been completed as Tx is distracted by construction of Dubina. Silverton forever remains his home however and will be expanded on and completed eventually.
The Town itself is rather remote, and has no real connection with the outside world short of trade runs to Emerald Mall carried out by Txkeykeeper himself.
And special note for 
TurtleCobra , this town is named after Silverton, Colorado. Not Silverton, Texas

Inspiration
Silverton was inspired in by the real life town of Silverton, Colorado and the many former mining towns and communities that surrounded it such as Eureka, Animas Forks and so on. The theme is generally "western" but has an emphasis on mining and crop production instead of the stereotypical ranching.
History
Silverton was founded around a week after Txkeykeeper joined the server. Although originally settling near Thurston, the confines of the older section of map began to not be enough for his ambitions, and a new location was to be found. After exploring miles of oceans and many corners of the map, a decision was made and Silverton was founded on the SE world border, with the cave house and pig pens being constructed that day. Shortly after the first field was constructed along with the original "crop barn" and Txkeykeeper's first house that sits nearby. This of course later expanded into Txkeykeeper Farms INC (a subsidiary of Texas Industries INC) which encompasses many acres in the river bottoms below town.
