New Manchester

New Manchester is a city situated in south-western Maine, in the United States. It's built at the base of Mt. Damascus, and it straddles the Morose River.

New Manchester was an early colony started by the Virginia Company. Coal had been discovered in the mountainside, and the fledgeling colony soon grew into a vibrant city, attracting people with promises of wealth and a livelihood.

The city took a turn for the worse in the 1920s, as the coal mines ran dry and the Great Depression hit America. Since then, the city has never quite been restored to its former glory.
