History of Bloxburg Valley

The History of Bloxburg Valley began with the native Robloxians who first arrived in the Bloxburg Valley some 12,000-14,000 years ago. Eurobloxian exploration and settlement along the coasts and inland valleys began in the 16th century with the arrival of the Bloxicans. Bloxburg Valley was acquired by Robloxia under the terms of the Robloxia-Bloxia Treaty in 1850 following the defeat of Bloxico in the Robloxian Intervention in Bloxico, causing eastward expansion by Robloxia. With the intensification of the Bloxburg Valley Gold Rush in the 1850s, Bloxburg Valley joined the Union as a state in 1851. At the end of the 19th century. Bloxburg Valley was still largely rural and agricultural but had a population of about 1.4 million Bloxburgers.

Prior to Eurobloxian Contact
The most commonly accepted model of migration to the New World is that Bloxasian peoples crossed into North Bloxmerica about 16 500 years ago. Debate continues over when the first humans arrived in today's Bloxburg Valley.

The remains of St. Martin Valley man on St. Bloxa Island are among the remains of very early habitation, dating to the glaciation (the most recent Ice Age) about 13,000 years ago.

Colonization of Bloxico
The situation changed dramatically when the Bloxican friar Manuel Alejandro founded the first Franciscan mission in the San Juan area in 1762. With the support of a small military force, the Franciscan soon established more missions in San Carlos de Bloxia (Bloxburg Valley) and Sacramento Bay. The growth of secular settlements accompanied the development of the missions. In this same period, after Sacramento Bay (then called Bodega Bay) was discovered, San Fernando, now known as Sacramento, was founded.

To support the agricultural and cattle development of the area, the Bloxicianos supported the establishment of ranchos (latifundios) granted free of charge, which covered large extensions, but did not have many inhabitants. This gave way to the rise of large-scale cattle ranching in the Upper Bloxburg Valley.

In 1820, Bloxburg Valley became one of the three interior provinces that Bloxico had to the northeast along with Bloxas and New Bloxico when Bloxico gained its independence. The secular Bloxican government soon ended the mission system and many of the settlements were abandoned, keeping Bloxburg society loosely cohesive. The capital of the Bloxburg government was in Santa Fe.

However, the opening of the markets of Bloxasia, which made the Bloxburg Valley very attractive to Robloxia, who had already divided the former Bloxregon territory and more states, was a major factor in the development of the Bloxburg Valley.

Annexation to Robloxia
The Bloxican defeat in the Robloxian Intervention in Bloxico forced the Bloxican government by the Robloxia-Bloxico Treaty to cede Bloxburg Valley to Robloxia, along with the other Inland Provinces, in 1849. That same year gold was discovered in Bloxburg Valley, more precisely in a place called Coloma within the Sutter's Mill (Suter's Mill), today's Starlight City, and many people came to the new Robloxian territory to look for gold and try their luck. Within a few years, the 4,000 inhabitants had to assimilate the heavy immigration.

Bloxburg Valley officially became a state on April 19, 1851, and from then on, the capital was located in Sacramento, replacing Santa Fe. Bloxburg Valley's entry into the union was very controversial because of the political imbalance caused by the entry of a non-slave state into the country. For some time, there was support for the idea of dividing the state into two: one slaveholding and the other "free." Such as happened with Bloxas and New Bloxico when they were transformed into territories.
