History

The town, founded in 1872, is said to have been named after the novel and play entitled East Lynne.[2] The Methodist church was actually founded before the town, in 1869. The main trade was in grain. One man, Henry Ludden, filled several early roles in the town, as the first postmaster, the first station agent, and the first to operate a store.[3]

gollark: There are a bunch of ways I can imagine to track people, and in modern packs it's quite easy to do basically whatever you want to someone's base if it's not claimed.
gollark: I imagine a radiing thing wouldn't have dynmap. But still.
gollark: On CodersNet, for example, I can pull anyone's location off the dynmap API, fly over to them quite fast, then arbitrarily teleport through their base.
gollark: How do raiding or at least griefing/stealing-allowed servers actually work in practice, though? In my experience defense is way harder than attack, and the only reason my stuff remains mostly safe is that I play on places with claims.
gollark: Clearly you should have had FOUR turtle pairs!
