Socorro is a city located in the North Western Ocean, founded on April 5th, 2019 by KingServal, EastDakota, and snakyman. It has the largest number of documented builders among all centrally led cities on the server. It is a plot-based city focused on Western and modern architecture. As the largest settlement in server history, it is steadily growing, especially from revitalized efforts from the town staff. The town is a great starter town for noobs to get their start and continue developing due to its numerous farms and economic opportunities, and is great for more established players as it has server landmarks such as the largest casino on the server alongside being a hub for the financial, farm, and historical industries.
Town History
Beginnings (April 2019- Late-2020):
Socorro was founded on April 5, 2019 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.After this, KingServal appointed 76x as vice mayor, until he got banned on June 14, 2019 upon realization he was a 
SailBird alt. KingServal would continue town expansion, with work on the town museum and help from individuals like 
ickyacky assisting with building the Lucky 38.
Slowdown(Late-2020-March 2025):
The seat was left incumbent until KingServal appointed jriver_15 to the office in 2020. By this time, KingServal was busy with some other things on the server and real life stuff as well, with few new residents and developments in the city. This would be exacerbated when he took an almost 2 year break in mid-2023, leaving the town abandoned with very few new residents from Vice Mayor development.
Revitalization (March 2025-Present):
gnawmon) KingServal came back to the server in early 2025, wanting to revisit the server he had called his Minecraft Home. With that, he decided to finish what he started. He appointed BuffaloBom and 
CaptainIceman to Vice-Mayors, finished building the KJ Bank exterior, and rapidly expanded the town's Embassy District and plots,enabling dozens of new players to join. Socorro as it stands is the largest player settlement, alongside developing dozens of new businesses and paving a shining path for the server of what a settlement should be. On May 27th, 2025, Socorro became the largest settlement in server history by number of confirmed documented residents. The town continues to grow, primarily in the farm and historical industries.
Imperial History:
Socorro has had its run-ins with empire building on MCO. KingServal always had a fascination with how players could create functional empires in such an anarchic environment such as the server. When Socorro was founded he decided to pledge allegiance to the Benjamese Empire, as many server towns were in it alongside friends of his like 
Snakyman. Shortly after he decided to leave it as BenEm was on its deathbed, deciding to make his own imperial venture. With that, Socorro was the last settlement to join BenEm and it would eventually cease to exist due to inactivity and members moving on.
In December that same year, KingServal decided to take the mantle, and alongside Snakyman and 
verydairyman founded a group known as the "Freedonian Imperial Federation". This group would eventually merge with the Bedrock Empire to form the United States of Freedonia. It would become one of the largest Empires in MCO history with over 500 residents and sprawling all across the map. With this, Socorro and Verico would unite to form the Bedrocco Empire, which Socorro is still a part of today.
While the United States of Freedonia would fizzle out in ~2022 from player inactivity and individuals forming new, unaffiliated towns, the Bedrocco Empire would remain in place. Many Bedroccan institutions remain in the town such as the KJ Bank, and Socorro is technically a monarchy, leading the House of Socorro. In 2025 Socorro would also align itself with the Newport Empire. On August 5th, 2026, Socorro joined the League of Towns and Settlements, seeking closer diplomatic ties with greater Freedonia.
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. Major WIP builds are The Grand Museum of Freedonia, The Lucky 38, farm district, and town beautification.
Notable Builds:
Socorro Canal System
& More!
What does Socorro offer?
Besides being an excellent Nexus hub, Socorro is a great spot to live and do fun activities. It has many farms, and also a lot of businesses. It is a great town for both beginners and experienced players alike. It is the town with the largest amount of embassies from other groups and settlements, with about two dozen all represented within the borders of Socorro, making it excellent for networking and gaining greater aspects into the MCO Community.
Districts of Socorro:
Socorro is classified into four different districts. They are: Residential, Farm, Business, and Embassy. Each district has its own parameters for zoning and build style/influences, alongside function.
1. Residential:
The Residential District is composed primarily of housing for residents, alongside parks and other minor builds. Most new residents are given a free plot in this district and enabled to build their first build here.
2. Industrial District:
This zone comprises of many farms including but not limited to: Cobblestone, Wood, Concrete, Sand, Gravel, Food, Bones, & More! (see the Socorro Industrial District wiki for more info.)
3. Business Zone:
Comprising of many businesses such as potion and enchanting book shops, banner shops, and the KJ Bank of Bedrocco.
4. Embassy Quarter:
See here for a list of embassies in Socorro. Any settlement or group is entitled to an embassy plot and can build anything that exemplifies their organization. Just contact any town staff for info.
Directions to Socorro
Socorro is extremely easy to enter. There are 4 main transportation methods and they are: Nexus, walking,railway, and boats. Below are all of the ways to enter Socorro, whichever seems nicest to you is what you should do. It should be noted that the Nexus is the fastest way in and out, though.
Nexus(Recommended):
1. At the back right of the spawn Visitor Center is the Nexus, enter that and then to the left is the Pink Nexus, go into it.
2. Take Nexus North (Pink) 1 (The left-most one).
3. On the second left stall it will say Socorro!
Walking: (Closest Route)
1. Go to Forrrest using /warp Forrrest
2. Turn around,and head to the Numington Town / Route 69 tunnel.
3. When you emerge go right, to the Icekansen (Remember to bring food)
4. Keep following until you reach Route 69, then continue until you reach Socorro!
Railroad to Socorro:
Socorro has one main railway connecting it to the mainland of Freedonia, which goes through the Phoenix Isles. Socorro is one of the farthest-reaching areas in the entire railroad network.
1. At Phoenix Isles, go onto all Westbound trains until you reach the end of the city metro line. There should be a sign saying Socorro, stay on that line.
2. Enjoy the ride! It is mostly underground with parts closer to Socorro having an ocean-view bubble!
By Boat:
1. Go on a boat and steer it until you reach the shores of Socorro.
The easiest boat route is the Mosaic Boat Route Branch.
Rules of Socorro
Socorro has a very basic ruleset, mainly following Settlement rules as established by the server. There are also some build-themes, which is anything resembling anything related to the American West (both older and modern.) In any district that isn't residential, any architecture style is allowed but this "wild west" theme is heavily encouraged. The town mayor and vice-mayors have authority to add people to town.
Town Population(306)
Includes people who've built a house, building, embassy, own/owned an apartment, have sethomed,contributed massively to a build, or have had ownership of a plot at one point. Users with (BANNED) next to their name have been banned from the server, and users with (EXILED) have been effectively banned from the community but are just on the population list for record-keeping and are not town residents.
It should be noted that new residents and their dates of entry prior to March 2025 are less definitive and murky in the precise dating of entry. Town residency numbers are as close as they can to being the correct order of residency, but with imprecise dating and some residents not being accounted for it's as close to accurate as possible.
