History

Star City was incorporated as a city under its current name over 200 years ago.

Before moving on to service in first Metropolis and later Gotham City, Maggie Sawyer began her career as a police officer in Star City.

The first costumed vigilante to serve as mayor was Thomas "Steelclaw" Bolt, who adopted an undercover persona as a costumed criminal as part of his efforts to bring local crime under control. He died in office of that attempt.

During the years that Green Arrow spent outside of Star City, at least one other costumed crime-fighter operated there: Chase Lawler, one of the several known Manhunters.

Doctor Light and Merlyn detonated explosives, leaving nearly a third of Star City in shambles in what becomes known as the "Amsterdam Avenue Disaster".

Green Arrow has recently became the mayor of Star City.

gollark: Though GHC probably does optimize quite well, by now.

gollark: Compiled != magically efficient

gollark: I can make a compiled language really inefficient. Want me to give a demo?

gollark: But I don't care, because *I can actually do productive stuff in it*, significantly faster.

gollark: It's probably much slower than, I don't know, C.
