'''''Peoria'''''
The French founded a fort where present day Peoria is in 1680 but it was destroyed in a native raid and had to be rebuilt in 1683. By the turn of the 17th century Peoria was a small civilian settlement and outpost of French control in the "Upper Country". After Prince Maurice's war and Dutch annexation of the Meerenland in 1755 and the creation of the Dutch Mississippi colony in 1761 the settlement grew in importance as a hub of Dutch colonial administration. In the early and mid 19th century Peoria was overshadowed by other growing cities in Meerenland and it wasn't until the post-war railroad boom in the 1860's and 1870's that Peoria really started to become a major city in North America. Due to it's geographic location and history as an administrative center of the Dutch, Peoria became Tussenland's premier railroad hub. Overtime Peoria grew to become one of Tuseenland's largest cities, Meerenland's largest city and one of the largest cities in North America. During this time Meerenland lost a lot of it's historic Old Country French cultural influence and has become a city that melded Dutch-Amerikaener, French-Meerenlander, native and immigrant influences into its diverse urban fabric.
