Socorro is a settlement in the North Western Ocean, founded on April 5th, 2019 by KingServal, EastDakota, and 
Snakyman. It is a plot based city focused on Western and modern architecture. One of the largest settlements in the server, it is steadily growing, especially from revitalized efforts from the town staff.
Town History
Socorro was founded when KingServal and snakyman were building Route 69. Originally planned to be a rest stop, KingServal realized the potential of the area for there to be a great town. With EastDakota, King constructed the town's first structure, the town hall. Soon, East constructed his building in the town square (now demolished). The next day, King invited RPS_DA_BEAR and ScarClaw72. RPS built the Grapevine publishing HQ, while Scar constructed a house right across the HQ. Days later, King expanded the town and invited players. Meanwhile, EastDakota decided to step down from his role in the town to pursue other things. 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, who still holds his position an astounding 5 years later! After that, the town went into a slow phase, but recently has been more active thanks to KingServal's efforts!
Town Plans
Socorro is primarily based on the American West, both modern and 19th century, as reflected in the buildings. Town Square, the location of city hall and other buildings, like a saloon, publishing company, and houses, is the main center of town. Upcoming builds are a museum, bank, and The Lucky 38.
Notable Builds:
Socorro Sugarcane farm
Socorro Canal System
