Club Penguin City is a city on King George's Island. It is part of the Club Penguin Metropolitan Area, which has the total population of 20,000,000 penguins, making it the second largest city in the USA. It wis one of the most expensive and ambitious projects in the history of Antarctica. Together with the Club Penguin Metropolitan Area, economically, it is the second richest city behind South Pole City. Unlike Club Penguin Island, Club Penguin City is like any regular city, rather than the 'libertarian utopia' the Club created out of Club Penguin Island. The small city of Landsowne, the former capital of Colonial Antarctica, is integrated into Club Penguin City as a borough.

History[edit]
The city was founded in 2000 by DillyDally, whose ship landed on the King George's Island, after the abandonment of New Landsdowne, the city that had originally settled the area. Club Penguin suffered a real-estate boom when land ran out, leaving no more room for further housing development, even with the extra servers. In 1995, penguins flocked to the area to start a new life. The city grew by 76% in one year, from 2005 to 2006. Club Penguin's trade was growing, with more goods coming from more places. More penguins came to live at the city, after getting employed at Club Penguin City. It built a new city hall, much larger and grander than the old city hall, which has been turned into a major tourist attraction. Club Penguin City is famous for its peace and its "safe-haven", which has been maintained even with urbanization and tourism.
