McClellandin

McClellandin is a small town and civil parish in the fictional country of Norhaven. It is situated in the eastern lowlands along the Lark River, about 40 kilometers north of the regional capital, and it covers roughly 18 square kilometers. The landscape combines agricultural fields with pockets of woodland and a historic riverside core.

The town traces its origins to 1832, when settlers from the McClellan family established a trading mill along the river. Over the following decades, the settlement grew around milling and farming interests and was incorporated as a town in 1865. The name McClellandin reflects the prominent early family and the community’s riverine setting.

Geography and climate are typical of the temperate lowlands, featuring rolling terrain, fertile soils, and a mix of cropland and pastures. Winters are cold and summers are warm, with annual precipitation distributed through the year.

Economy in McClellandin centers on agriculture—primarily dairy and grain production—supported by a small suite of light manufacturers and local services. The town attracts visitors with a preserved historic district, a riverside park, and nature trails along the Lark River to nearby woodlands.

Demographically, the 2020 census reported a population of about 3,900. The community is largely rural, with a stable mix of families and longer-term residents. Education is provided by two primary schools and a regional high school, along with a public library serving residents.

Transportation includes a regional road network and a rail line linking to larger cities. McClellandin operates under a mayor–council government with a nine-member town council and standard municipal services, including police, fire, and public works.
