Nemonos City was founded in 1960 as a utopian escape from the sprawling cities elsewhere in the US. This did not last long as market forces soon resulted in Nemonos moving to a more traditional style of urban development. The creation of the Nemonos Regional Transportation Authority in the early 1960s resulted in an extensive expressway network that further propelled development outwards.
