History
Alexandra Farm in 1865.
In the 1880s-1990s
The region of Robloxopolis used to be a large plot of land next to the Bloxburg River named the Alexandra Farm, owned by a man named Alexander Noobly Jackson.
Jackson would then sell the plot of land to his son Alexander Noobly Jackson II, in 1876, as part of Jackson's will before he (Jackson) died in 1889 at the age of 95.
A few changes would be made to the farmland before on 1896, when future first mayor of Robloxopolis, Robert Edward Bloxington, to complete the railway tracks connecting the city of Bloxburg to the city of Santiago.

Soon, with the help of Andrew James Shedletsky, they would build the first buildings in what would be known as Old Robloxopolis, including the Old Town Hall (Alexandra Hall), the Old Robloxopolis Police Department, and the Burnham Bridge. Soon, residents from nearby towns would move in to Old Robloxopolis and build homesteads by the Bloxburg River and the Burnham Bridge.
However, after the Battle of Burnham in 1901, Robloxopolis would expand due to the residents of Old Robloxopolis winning, taking over the land area of what used to be the city of Northbury. after this relocation farther north of Alexandra Farm, Old Robloxopolis would seemingly be abandoned.
In the farther north, formerly known as North Robloxopolis, the first roads were built, now being John Shedletsky Ave, Clockwork Blvd, Kenny St, Noobly Ave, Maple St, Bloxington Ave and Cassel Blvd. More tourists moved in and started to build their own shops, with famous examples being clothing brand Blueberry, the first location of bar Freddy's Bar, pizzeria The Empire Pizza, et cetera.
In 1937, Maple Street was the first road in Robloxopolis to be paved, with Bloxington Ave and Cassel Boulevard following close by.
In August 28, 1938, the first cinema had been built in Kenny Street. it was named the Roblox Cinema, and it's first movie was streamed in October 30, 1938. after this, the cinema started becoming more active. Soon, in 1940, the cinema was at it's peak with over 381 visitors in the day and 435 in the night.
In 1958, the New Town Hall, formally known as the Robert E. Bloxington Town Hall, was constructed in order of mayor James Bloxington, and then in 1960, the new town hall was fully built and decorated with paintings in picture frames, flowers, et cetera.

In 1990, the mayor elections of 1990 were happening, where Andrew Bennett controversially won, where people in Robloxopolis started protesting due to how bad Andrew Bennett was as senator of Robloxia. Bennett would subsequently be removed from office just 1 month after he started being Mayor of Robloxopolis, where he was soon replaced by James Lindenberg.
Soon, in Lindenberg's time as mayor, he would commision Spire Condominiums to make a residential tower next to the Statue of Sovereignty, which would eventually turn out to be the world famous R1, one of the tallest skyscrapers in the country of Robloxia.
