It is hard to say that, studies from the University of Eurolito City (Er. Onevercedadi di Eurolitu) find that the city of Spalas is the oldest surviving city in the country, located in the East Eurolito Island's Coast, nowadays with about 10000 inhabitants, inhabited, they say, since the 60th century BC (about 6000 BC).
Studies from the University of Lavia, in partnership with the Indian University of Mumbai, found, in northern Lavia, in the city of Lavrastia, remains of ruins from the 65th century BC (around 6500 BC), and there are some theories that say this might be the first actual city in the archpelago, maybe even founded by the legendary Presti (near the city of Lavrastia there is a small hill, locals say it is the burring place of an ancient king or nobleman, some experts thing it might be the "historical Presti" himself, but there is a LOT of disagreements in this area).
Anyway, the second of those finds is still at discussion in the academic world, but Eurolito has cities, at least since the 60th century BC.

Lewes in Sussex County is the oldest Town in Towson at 407 Years Old.

It's was a Swedish Whaling Outpost but now is mostly a "Tourist Town" like most other Towns on the Eastern shore of Towson.

The original capital, Acceptance, is still an active city. It recently celebrated its 2,500th anniversary.

In more recent years, Acceptance has become known as "The Ellis Island of Olwe" due to the fact that immigrants usually arrive there to be processed. The name of the city should tell you something about our stance on immigration.

Note: Before 2480, Olwe was called Athan. If you see this word in a thread, it's because you mentioned a year incompatible with Olwe in that thread but still made it open to all techs and therefore are allowing Athan's magic.

Postby Pavonistade » Wed Aug 07, 2013 11:12 am

Vadopolis is the oldest and oldest surviving city in Pavonistade, though a large majority of its old buildings have been destroyed. It was the first settlement to be established, and was originally called the New Colonies (the name went on to become the name of the whole Pavonistadian islands) before being renamed to Fort Vad and then to its present name - Vadopolis.

Many people thought that Forstazika is the oldest city because it has a lot of old buildings, but that is only because most old buildings are preserved. In fact, Forstazika is one of the youngest cities, the only younger city being Pavonistade City.

There is conflicting evidence regarding the matter of the oldest continually inhabited city in Maltropia. It is either Argalium, the ancient royal city of Espin, or Esrium, the later capital of that same kingdom, both of which have been populated since at least the nineteenth century BC. The oldest Maltropian city is Corcaigh Nua, founded in 1453.

The city of St. James is the oldest in the nation to still be inhabited. It was originally built by viking raiders in the kingdom of Beicmhu. In 852 AD. the viking settlement of Grœnvilltr was established, but were driven out in 903 by the native Celts who raised the city. Upon returning in 915 the Vikings established the city of Blárfeigr (Common Celtic: Blārfʷaja; Irish: Blármheic). In 943 the native celts were able to retake the area, though the city survived. In anno domini 1098 the city was renamed to Wor-Kantl Iago, Common celtic for St. James.

The two contenders for this are Skaldved, an isolated small town in northwestern Drakònia, and Paleosicas, an ancient trading city in eastern Mesozoica. Both are believed to be approximately 15,000 years old.
