Bluemont

Introduction

A view of Southern Downtown Bluemont from Lakeshore Street

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 east, and Renderdale beyond that.

History

Bluemont was founded on August 16 2021 at 9:40 AM EST (1:40 PM UTC) with the placing of the first seawall block. The town did not have a name until September 4 2021, when the town tree was planted. Despite what the name may suggest, however, Bluemont has no French influence.
