Baltimore Hundred in Frankford in Sussex County, Delaware — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
Nugget Hollow & G.P. Mining Co.
est. 1824
In the heart of the untamed wilds, nestled amidst dusty plains and giant critters, lay the peculiar town of Nugget Hollow. Founded by a motley crew of adventurous guinea pigs, Nugget Hollow boasted a bustling community centered around a prosperous gem minding operation: G.P. Mining Co. The town's discovery was a stroke of luck, stumbled upon by a group of prospectors while foraging for leftover scraps in the sandy terrain. Led by the intrepid explorers, Dusty Paws, they quickly recognized the potential wealth hidden beneath the surface. With pickaxes in paw and determination in their hearts, they worked tirelessly, unearthing glittering jewels that sparked like stars. Soon, word of Nugget Hollow and G.P Mining Co. spread, attracting a diverse array of furry settlers who yearned for the mines, seeking fortune and adventure in the unforgiving frontier. And amidst the chaos of the rugged landscape, this unlikely town thrived, its streets echoing with squeaks of excitement and the clink of pickaxes as they forged their own tiny destiny in the untamed wilds.
