History
At the same time of the founding of New Zevkhay, there was a small village of native farmers, who gave peace to the newcomers, and as a result prospered as their village expanded rapidly.
The industrial revolution brought hundreds of silent factories, powered by electricity from the river and from the massive oil-fired stations. It also brought thousands of people in for work, who were housed in hundreds of small houses on the outskirts of the sprawl.
With the economic boom of the '20s, followed by the massive period of hyper-growth in the '60s, the area spread outwards massivly, governed all the time by the governemt so that growth did not go out of hand.
Uses
The entirity of the land is divided into large plots of about 800m x 800m, which are used by industry as airports, manufacturing plants, warehouses, retail outlets, power stations and headquarters.
The entirity of the river and the shoreline on the Old Zevkhay side is used for ferry terminals, shipyards, fleet mooring and goods unloading.
