History
It was first founded as the Kinship Village of Matualan in 1300 BC. Matualan wasn't important until the Penguin Empire, when it became Matulus. Matulus had the features of many Penguin Empire cities, including a forum, Telenacle temples, a market, and public baths, During the HPC, Matulus had no importance, and the only city in the area was Galpengstown, founded by a baron named Galpeng. Galpengstown was a stop on the pilgrimage route to Chetwood Telenacle, which contained relics of the High Penguin settlers from Valnor. Galpengstown thrived form many years. An earthquake destroyed the town in 1911.

Enderby City was first founded in 1982 by Jacob Reginald Enderby I, as a army camp for a local militia. The city was known as a small village at the time,and was regarded as an un-incorporated and temporary settlement, instead of a permanent one. But then, it was incorporated as a Township, after a large influx of penguins started to move and settle permanently into the city. Soon the city has munitions factries, to make arms and deletion devices.In early 1990s, political struggle in the city led the city into a state of anarchy. When the disorder was resolved, Cornelius Reinner Enderby, relative of Jacob Reginald Enderby assumed the role of mayor, and reorganized the city council. The city, which had a population of 300,l00 at the time, began to grow, into the now 5,000,000 penguin population it is today.

During the Polarian Revolution the city was besieged by Antarctican and Free Republic Union soldiers. 2 weeks before the end of the war, the siege was lifted. Mayor Elmer Patrician had a square in front of Enderby County Courthouse built, Siege Square, with many statues. Enderby City was important during the Frosian War, because it was the last part of mainland Polaris to fall. Nathaniel B.Kratz had sent a large part of the Polarian Army to hold it, and try to stop the Puffalian army from getting to Freezeland, but this was all in vain; after the city fell, the Polarian soldiers retreated towards Freezeland to meet up with the Freezelandians, but at the Battle of Lhunfalas(just inside Freezeland), they were defeated. Another monument was erected commemorating the efforts of these soldiers, which delayed General Olaf's advance on Freezeland and may have contributed to victory in the Frosian War. The City is now an important manufacturing and high tech center for the Federal Republic of Polaris.
