▲'''Bluemont''' is a town on Puucraft's 11th map, founded by bluecrafter07. Located on a large island at coordinates 200 x -3900 z, the town is modeled after an 19th-20th century American city. Bluemont also serves as one of Puucraft's main shopping hubs, with almost every building featuring something to sell. Neighboring towns include [[Kedeville]] to the west, and [[Renderdale]] beyond that.
 
== History ==
 
=== Founding ===
Bluemont was founded on August 16 2021 at 9:40 AM EST (1:40 PM UTC) with the placing of the first seawall block. After bluecrafter's failure to finish the city of [[Crafterburg]] on mapMap 10, it was decided to tone back the scope of the next town to a more reasonable level. Therefore, the town was envisioned as a successor to [[Blue Town]] on mapMap 9, but at a slightly larger scale.
 
=== The Big Dig ===
Before being settled, Bluemont island was a very hilly place. As such, the island needed to be flattened in order to support structures. On August 24 2022, bluecrafterbluecrafter07 gathered players on the server to participate in a competition to dig out the lower half of downtown. Everyone worked diligently to dig out the area over a period of about 6 hours, and recievedreceived rewards for what they had dug.
 
The placings in the competition are as follows:
 
# VidruxVirdux - 130.5 stacks
# [[Existing_Player]] - 108.5 stacks
# DarkRobster - 68.5 stacks
# [[Gustawus]] - 31.5 stacks
# [[Crispy8B]] - 27 stacks
# MiningYourOres - 26.5 stacks
 
=== Planting of the Town Tree ===
Bluemont did not have an actual name until September 4 2021, when the town tree was planted. Over time, the town tree has grown from a small sapling to a large tree with spreading branches, as seen below. [[File:2022-06-23 17.32.00.png|thumb|

Despite what the given name may suggest, Bluemont has no French influence.
