History
Acmere was a small market town settled by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the 1st century and remained the same up until the 1300s when the town was identified as the perfect location for the basing of infantry and associated forces and so the first barracks were built close to where the Fuesilier Precinct is situated.
During the civil war the town served as the headquaters for the Unionist army and the town swelled as more and more troops came to the town.
The economy of the area soon developed to service the needs of international dignitaries who would attend the various army events that take place such as the Maanenland International Military Tattoo which takes place four miles away at 'Chiltern Haven'.
The latter half of the 20th century saw a decline in the fortunes of the town despite a large increase in troops numbers problems such as crime and disorder particularly as advancements in local railway made it easier for people to visit the town for entertainment.
In 2006 it was announced that Acmere was to become the capital of the new province the Hart Districts , unlike most other capital cities Acmere has no experiance or history as the centre of a region and as such is planning to construct a new facility in the town centre for the housing of the new government.
