Fort Kenneth is an unincorporated privately-owned community south of Urbis City. It was constructed by Sierra in October 2024 (IC: October 1925).
Fort Kenneth will primarily export food, specifically potatoes and wheat. The town has a gas station, a motel, a sheriff's office and a civic center/town hall.
Influences
Sierra was heavily inspired by InfaruV2:Yipton's cheap oak & cobble construction and rural Australian-inspired design, along with being influenced from rural south-western towns in Utah and Nevada; specifically farming towns located within valleys, a common sight.
History
Founding
Fort Kenneth was conceived by Sierra, Ashley and Wanda061 to fulfill the agriculture plans of The Kinocracy. The idea was to completely cover the valley that Fort Kenneth is located in with farmland to feed & provide food security Urbis City and it's surrounding metropolitan area.
Eventually, Ashley would move on and create the farming town of Winterfell, leaving Sierra to build it herself, and in her vision.
Construction
The construction would start by Sierra clearing the forest in the valley (and touching up holes) with Renarchat, their long time friend. The first road would be built shortly after, 6-blocks wide to accommodate the new movecraft cars, making Fort Kenneth the first car-dependent town in Faru.
The widening and improvement of roads surrounding Urbis City and Fort Kenneth would come next, with hundreds of meters of road being built, renovated and widened, and even new bridges built.

1925 Hotel Fire
The 1925 Fort Kenneth Hotel Fire saw the destruction of the Hotel, which would eventually be replaced by the Kenneth Motel.
The cause of the fire is unknown, however, Sierra was heard saying out-of-character: "dude. a motel here would go SO much harder than a generic building. luckily I'm not plagued by the sunken cost fallacy"
