History

Once a riverside fishing hamlet, the town grew as a first port of call for river traders and cautious ocean skippers; a mysterious luminous mycelium bloom early in its history became entwined with local faith and law, and in recent years merchant capital has pushed for expansion that clashes with older customs and fragile cliff ecology, driving current political tensions.
