History[edit | edit source]
South Princeton was originally settled by the Kalamang people who built stone-structures as temples and homes to survive the constant flooding common along the coastal plan. Eventually around 540, the Kamjanaian Kingdom arrived instituting farming practices and demanding a percent of crops produced. When the Janghara State rose around 700, the province was the site of conflict with a large battle taking place near modern-day Wellesley Town. Even after the collapse of Janghara and Kamjanian, a successor state known as the Seberang Kingdom which continued the Jangharan faith despite the arrival of Minjian. The Seberang Kingdom would later become a vassal state however with the Pindai State extracting mineral resources from primarily the mountainous central region.
In 1605, Costenoian settlers purchased a barrier island on the southern tip of the province soon turning in into the city of Ciudad Galan. Galan would soon grow as a major trade hub, with Costeno charging a major tax on entry to the city from the mainland. Locals protested in 1625 and quickly turned on symbols of the new colonial government. Not accepting the lose of a key trade city, the Governor of San Fernando ordered the military to force locals off there land before selling it to them again. In the end, locals were left landless and new Costenonian settlers took there place. By 1800, around 40% of the population with ethnically Costenoian with a small community of Mezcaldo born from the intermarriage of Kalmang women and Costenoian men. In 1823, Ciudad Galan was re-named Beaufort for General James Beaufort of the Sanctarian military after he captured the city with the aid of Kalmang forces.
