History

The history of Guilford Parish, named after Anthony Guilford, the first homesteader in the area, is a short one. It was founded, as one of the first parishes in Thorlund, in 1990. Because the land was mountainous and located at the highest altitude in the Resurgent Dream, it was originally home to only a few homesteaders. However, this very isolation made it a popular site for colleges and universities, who originally considered the atmosphere to be free of distractions. While this worked for a few years, business catering to college students followed. Soon other business catering to the new populace moved in after them. Very soon, a thriving county centered on a sizable city had grown up around the originally isolated academic setting.

The borders of Guilford Parish have never changed in its short history. No major military actions have occurred here nor has there been substantinal civil unrest.
