History
Duckburg was a city located in the state of Calisota situated in the United States of America. It was originally known as Fort Drake Borough that was a fort built in the 16th century by British explorer Sir Francis Drake. By the 19th century, the fort had been handed over by its departing British occupants to Cornelius Coot who renamed the fort Duckburg.
Duckburg remained a quiet, small town until the arrival of wealthy businessman Scrooge McDuck. McDuck had bought the old fort from Clinton Coot who was a descendant of Cornelius. Scrooge proceeded to construct his famous money bin and established various businesses in and around Duckburg. This construction caused Duckburg's population to swell, and turned the small town into a bustling city within several decades' time.
Overview
In appearance, Duckburg
Duckburg maintained a traditional rivalry with Goosetown, another city of Calisota.
The most prominent landmark in Duckburg is Scrooge McDuck's money bin, a giant building sitting on Killmotor Hill (formerly known as Killmule Hill) in the center of town. The money bin contains both office space and, most famously, three cubic acres of money, the results of Scrooge's lifetime of business and treasure-seeking adventures.
Duckburg is also the headquarters of the Billionaires' Club, a special club for various wealthy businessmen. McDuck, Rockerduck, and sometimes Glomgold are members of the club. Another important organization founded in Duckburg is the Junior Woodchucks, a rather mysterious Boy Scouts of America-like club in which Huey, Dewey and Louie are members. There is also a youth organization for girls, the Junior Chickadees. The Chickadees and Woodchucks maintain a friendly rivalry.
It was a major center for Space exploration. Expeditions have been launched from Duckburg to the Moon, Mars, Venus, the Asteroids, and more remote parts of the Galaxy.
