History
Thomasville was unofficially founded in late 2019. The three siblings drew roads in their driveway. They made traffic laws and a police system to enforce the laws. Thus, the Thomasville police force was born.
Later, in early 2020, the population doubled. The first mayor was elected, the name was chosen, and the Hexcoin was created.
Thomasville went online for a few months during the pandemic. During this time, Thomasville got its flag, had its second and third election, and had its first auction.
Since late 2020, Thomasvilians have been able to mingle in-person again. Since that time Thomasville has had its fourth and fifth election, experienced a stronger economy, and has benefited from the opening of Thomasville University.
