History

Drake Town has always been a part of Hurbanova. The oldest building of the neighborhood is the Slinkni Branan. Two other old buildings are 19 and 21 Vlackstreet, they both used to be a farm. A 100 years ago there was a moat, a wall and some towers at the place of the neighborhood.

The first plans of building a neighborhood here were from the '40. After one street was finished, a fire broke out killing 4 people. The name Zosnul street is a reminder of this. Zosnul is Oceana for the death. The cause of the fire was a gas leak.

In 2008 interest for a new neighborhood showed up. The original plans for making it, were created by the former mayor of Hurbanova and governor of Oceana, Oos Wes Ilava. His first draft was to create a residential neighborhood. He had plans to create almost five new neighborhoods. The name of Drake Town would be Moat. However, after some illegal actions he was forced to postpone his plans. He quit as mayor and governor and a few days later he was sent to jail for three weeks. He forgot about his plans while he was in jail. After three weeks of thinking about his illegal actions he was released. A lot had changed in Hurbanova and Oceana. Hurbanova had a new mayor, Ben Opať. He was having a conversation with Oos Wes and out of nothing plans for a new neighborhood retouched the light. Oos Wes immediately dropped plans for two neighborhoods and he proposed to build three neighborhoods. Ben, however, did not think it was necessary to build that many neighborhoods and was thinking about two neighborhoods. One residential and commercial neighborhood, on the place of Drake Town, and one industrial and/or agrarian neighborhood, on the place of Millstreet. Bart Koenen joined the conversation. He did not like the Millstreet plans and they were rejected. After many conversations the plans were proposed to the Lovian public. King Dimitri I and George Matthews said there was no need for an industrial neighborhood. Eventually, it was clear it would become a residential, commercial and agrarian neighborhood. Names were proposed by many famous Lovians like Pierlot McCrooke and Lars Washington. The name with the most support was Drake Town, proposed by Ben Opať. On May 19, 2008, Oos Wes started to work on the new neighborhood, Drake Town.
