History
Lexford was first founded in 2019 by Johnnyboi12345 and Jocie123 originally located just west of the Palm Bay Bridge in an old growth taiga biome. The town was established unofficially as a small village called "Fort Lexford" inhabited by a small group of players. The towns theme was medieval but as it began to invite new players and grow it slowly became modernized and had a mix of late 18th century and medieval style architecture. The unofficial council of the town expanded and consisted of other prominent players including Technofied and Endeavor who heavily advertised the town as well as assisted in its construction.
On July 26th, 2019, while lexford was still a small unofficial town, it was severely griefed. Johnnyboi12345 accused Derpgaming20_YT, SpriteTropical, and Codes320 of griefing the town as there was animosity between them due to an ongoing war with the town of Troutman. The next day, Derpgaming20_YT filed a lawsuit against Johnnyboi12345 accusing him of harassment and defamation. The lawsuit was dropped later that day. The culprit of the griefing was actually found to be a troll that joined the server earlier that day. As a result of the damage done to the town, Jocie123, a prominent member of Lexfords staff, left the server on July 31st, 2019. Due to Lexford having no regions at the time, it continued to suffer griefing attacks until it was relocated.
Around August of 2019, Tree60noscope joined the Lexford council and began advocating on behalf of the town to become official. On August 10th, 2019, Lexford was renamed "Fort Hamilton." Around the same time the town began preparations to be recognized as an official town. One of the prerequisites to township was a 15,000 block region limit to keep the size reasonable. Lexford had a larger region and needed to downsize before being considered.
