History
Early History
Oakridge was opened to the public on November 20th, 2020. The town’s popularity quickly grew, and on January 8th, 2021, Oakridge completed the town's first expansion. The expansion consisted of rentable stalls, a police station, a pharmacy, and a pier. A major change occured to the town on April 8th, 2021 making all drugs legal. This brought waves of new players and business owners to Oakridge due to the fact how selling drugs no longer required citizens to have a black market stall. Zab’s leadership came to an end in June as he stepped down from his position as mayor. After Zab stepped down, Oakridge held its first mayoral election with voting closing on the 25th of June, 2021. 1950Minecrafter came out on top, and was elected as Oakridge mayor.
Transition to Reveille
Similar to other towns, the transition to Reveille damaged Oakridge's activity. Oakridge was almost entirely rebuilt when transferred to the new map, and went through several major structural changes in the process. Due to the large number of players leaving DemocracyCraft due to the transition, Oakridge had trouble rebuilding the town. After struggles upon struggles, Oakridge managed to transition to the new map.
