Paxton Hills was founded in the late 1800's by a man named Richard Paxton. It started out being a low-key town, and no one ever came to visit unless they had to fill up their gas tanks. Most people that lived in this town were farmers, and were deeply into the Agricultural Era. Paxton was named for the rolling hills of lush grass and dandelions blowing in the wind. Everyone was friendly and cared about everyone; that is until Vance Greyson arrived.
Vance was a very rich man and had spotted Paxton while coming through one day to find help for a flat tire. Everyone was glad to help, but little did they know that Vance was scamming them. Vance found a way to sue the town of Paxton Hills and won over half the land. The government said that the people already in Paxton could stay, and that’s just what they did. Now, the near poor and the filthy rich were working beside each other in the same town. They each built their separate schools and kept their children away from the ‘other side’. If you lived on the East Side you went to Paxton University, and if you lived on the West Side you went to Trenton University. The government required them to be equal schools, so they were both extremely nice to begin with.
The quality eventually changed when Vance paid off the government to stay out of things. Vance made his own rules and stopped giving money to Trenton. This caused Trenton to barrel downhill. Ever since people have been trying to get it back and running again, but they’ve struggled greatly. Newcomers aren’t sure where to fit in, so they stay neutral, but what everyone really wants is for people to get along again. You know, have it be the old Paxton Hills they remembered it as.
