The history of Thompson originates from the highway that was constructed from New Turing to the National Arena. The arena, a federal district, was built inbetween Acadia´s most prominent settlements at the time; New Turing, Lovelace, and Kanava, highlighting Acadia´s federal and decentralized character. As territories and states began to take form in Acadia, the land in between New Turing and the National Arena, then known as the Midlands, remained unclaimed. On May 20 a player named [[Maxx]] built a cottage along the highway, the first building in the area, setting the tone for the countryside atmosphere and later dominant architectural style of Thompson, as well as the linear layout of the village, centered around the highway. |

The wish of the [[National Defense Party|NDP]] (predecessor of the NVDP) to get a state stronghold to get a state senator in the Acadian senate to increase its power in the pre-council era led [[SpacemanSpleef|Spleef]] to claim the Midlands for a future state, and on June 9, the Organized Territory of Thompson was established. |

In the meantime, with Acadia receiving a spawn beacon, the decline of Lovelace, and New Turing increasingly filled with buildings and reserved plots, people started using the area along the highway as a dumping ground for freshly spawned newfriends. With the area being undeveloped apart from one long abandoned house it was considered preferable by some that they would build their shacks here, and every once in a while their abandoned shacks would be removed once they had left the server. It is possible that this approach reduced retention rates, and none of the original newfriends dumped here survived in the end. |
