Socorro is a settlement in the North Western Ocean, founded on April 7th, 2019 by KingServal, EastDakota, and Snakyman. It is a plot based town focused on Western and modern architecture. One of the largest in the region, it is steadily growing.
Town History
Socorro was founded when KingServal and snakyman were building Route 69. Originally planned to be a rest stop, KingServal realized the area could be a town. With EastDakota, King constructed the town's first structure, the town hall. Soon, East constructed his building in the town square. The next day, King invited RPS_DA_BEAR and ScarClaw72. RPS built the Grapevine publishing HQ, while Scar constructed a house. Days later, King expanded the town and invited players. Meanwhile, EastDakota, unhappy with Socorro's management, left. Later, KingServal appointed 76x as vice mayor, until he got banned. The seat was left incumbent until KingServal appointed jriver_15 to the office in 2020. After that, the town went into a slow phase, but recently has been more active thanks to KingServal's efforts!
