Parsonsburg, Rockieton

Parsonsburg is a town in southwestern Rockieton along the Rockies River. It is the capital of the Parson Hills province. It has a population of 4097 as of the C.Y. 245 census. It is most notable for being the location of the C.Y. 130 Parsonsburg meteor impact, the costliest meteor impact in Cypriot history which levelled the original town, directly hitting its north side.

History
Parsonsburg was founded by a group of Taatiklarian colonists exploring the Notosan interior in C.Y. 76. In its heyday, it was one of the largest cities in all of eastern Notosa, and the largest in the continent's interior as a whole, with a population of about 9000 prior to the meteor impact.

The Parsonsburg meteor was first spotted and identified as likely to impact Cyprus in Juary, C.Y. 128, and was recognized to be specifically on a collision course with the continent of Notosa the year after. East-central Notosa was nearly completely evacuated several cypriot months prior to the impact, and only four people died as a result despite the meteor's destructiveness.

The entire town of Parsonsburg was levelled in the impact, and the rubble was cleared in the months afterward; however, rebuilding did not start until after the two cypriot year anniversary of the impact.

The town's population slowly rebounded to slightly under half of its pre-impact population as of C.Y. 245. Today it is a major tourist hotspot due to the meteor impact and the town's resulting unique history.

Geography
Parsonsburg is located in a valley by the Rockies River, in the hilly western mountains of Rockieton in central Notosa.
