{{{PAGENAME}}}

An American city that boasts the largest concentration of superheroes on Earth. Originally named Romeyn Falls, the city was re-christened in 1947 to honor the superhero, Astro-Naut.

History

As described in the History of Romeyn Falls, this geographic area has always been a center of legend and mystery. The crimefighter Air Ace, generally considered the world's first superhero, operated out of Romeyn Falls in the early 1900s. As such, many consider Astro City the birthplace and center of super-heroic activities. There are also other, mysterious aspects associated within the area in and around the Mount Kirby area. Nothing definitive, but speculation and rumors persist that fuel the reasons for Astro CIty being a metropolitan magnet for super-hero activity.
