History
Edward City DC, (Palmaria) was founded as a Roman camp upon the remains of a Talaiotic settlement. The turbulent history of the city saw it the subject of several Vandal sackings during the fall of the Roman Empire, then reconquered by the Byzantine, then colonised by the Moors (who called it Medina Mayurqa), and finally established by James I of Austro-Edwardia as Palma. It became Edward City in 1875 when the mayor at the time Edward I changed city's name to his own. In 1984, "DC" was added to the city name. DC means Distrito Capital.
Transportation
The Edward City Son Sant Joan International Airport is the busiest airport in the nation, receiving around 130 million passengers every year.
