Sunset Falls

The City of Sunset Falls, commonly known as simply Sunset Falls, is a major city located in Southern Mooloe Island.

History
Mooloe Island and the area that would become Sunset Falls was first settled in 1862 by sailors seeking refuge from a storm.

It was later incorporated by the United States in 1917. After the U.S. had incorporated Mooloe Island, the government had a 32-mile bridge built from Tarpon Springs, Florida to a southern area of flat land in Mooloe Island. The construction began in February, 1920 and completed in June, 1926.

Once the bridge had been constructed, people began visiting Mooloe Island and a few chose to stay. A group of the first inhabitants developed a small village and named it, "Sunset Falls". Months later, the area became more popular as word spread from its growing number of residents. This caused the area to be incorporated as a town of Mooloe Island.

Up until the 1960's, Sunset Falls was nothing but a quiet town with a population of about 17,400 people.

During the mid-1960's, however, Sunset Falls began to grow in population because it had become a common area for rock artists and bands to perform, using the Grand Sunset Concert Hall, located in Downtown, Sunset Falls.

The building was originally named the "Sunset Falls Center Theatre", but was later renamed for the popularity of music performances. Sunset Falls further grew in popularity because of it's location, weather, land value, shows, etc.

By 1982, the estimate for Sunset Fall's population exceeded 300,000.

Seperation From Ventus
Sunset Falls and Ventus are currently right next to each other, and they used to be the same city. The area of Ventus used to be considered East Sunset Falls.

During the mid-1980s, Sunset Falls was still growing in number until the sudden Stock Market Crash of 1987, which caused Sunset Falls to lose gigantic amounts of money from investors and homeowners, as well as a severe drop in population. The population of Sunset Falls is estimated to have dropped from a population of about 336,000 in 1985 to a population of about 294,000 in 1988.

The Sunset Falls government spent a lot of money trying to fix things and get their population back to where it was in 1985. They had decided to stop putting as much money into the neighborhoods and docks of East Sunset Falls, and instead focus on apartments and condominiums, which had become more popular in Downtown in recent years.

Sunset Falls had built back up their population to about 324,000 in 2006 before the Financial Crisis of 2007-2008, which caused their funds to plummet once again, but this time it wasn't nearly as easy to reverse. It is estimated that Sunset Falls' population dropped from 324,000 in 2006 to 227,000 in 2009.

Sunset Falls had to make multiple heavy decisions to save as much money as possible. They closed down the East docks, stopped all attractions, closed public buildings, took loans from the U.S., but eventually had to decide to let go of all of East Sunset Falls. The residents of East Sunset Falls were forced to either buy new homes in the rest of Sunset Falls, or leave the city entirely. Sunset Falls slowly gained a bit of profit from this decision, but lost a lot of historical area of the city.

East Sunset Falls sat deserted and untouched until 2011, when residents decided to start going back to it. Realtors slowly started selling homes and the area was officially renamed "Ventus", the name chosen by the new and first mayor of the town.

Ventus slowly started getting investment from Sunset Falls in 2014, and their small government and residents have been able to keep it a nice town to live in ever since it was reclaimed. Most city services currently assigned to Ventus are the same as the services for Sunset Falls. For example, the main police department in Ventus is the Sunset Falls Police Department.

Though Sunset Falls did eventually regain it's money, it did not reincorporate the area of Ventus, as the city's government decided that it's new owners treated it well. Unfortunately, many buildings in Ventus are still abandoned, giving the town a horrible appearance.
