History
The area that later became Snowgo was first settled by a Francterran in the 1780's, who built a farm in the area, and is considered the founder of the city by doing so. By the 1830's, a small town of 200 had been established there, and by 1837, Snowgo was incorporated as a city. In 1840, the town's size had grown greatly, to 4,000, twenty times the population it was ten years before. Snowgo continued to grow as one of the fastest growing cities in that region of the High Penguin Confederacy at the time, and although a major fire occurred in 1871, the town was quickly rebuilt.

Though close to the border between the Good Guys and Khanzem during the Khanzem War, the city was safe from many of the battles during the war, and was occupied by Good Guy forces throughout the war. Snowgo also managed to be safe from the Antarctic Revolution, though minor riots and insurrections often occurred in the city against Puffish rule, and by the end of the Revolution was the second largest city in the USA, after South Pole City, as Club Penguin was still growing. In the War of 2002, it was captured by Freezeland and briefly held, and returned to the USA after the war.
