Metropolis, Delaware is world class city on par with New York, London, Paris, Tokyo, and Kuala Lumpur. It has a staggering 7 million people, making it the second largest city in the United States behind New York. The metropolitan area carries many more.
Geographically, the Big Apricot is made out of 6 boroughs: New Troy, Park Ridge, Bakerline, St. Martin's Island, Hell's Gate, and Queensland Park. Half of the boroughs are islands: New Troy is bordered by Hobbs River to the north and the West River to the west and south. St. Martin's Island and Hell's Gate are islands in the Delaware Bay, which borders Metropolis to the East.

Delaware Bay |
---|
The large blue expanse of the Delaware Bay separates two of America's most important cities. To the southwest lies Metropolis, Delaware, the City of Tomorrow. At the northeastern tip of the bay is Gotham, an American relic. Farther northward up into the Delaware River lies Philadelphia, PA and Wilmington, DE. |
Park Ridge |
Park Ridge was originally a completely separate town back until the late 1800s when citizens began to desire some of the amenities afforded to Metropolitan residents. It is thus a blend between the old and the new and has very much its own colonial. Park Ridge is home to the final northern and western stops on the Monorail. Commuters into New Troy cross over the Hobbs River and enter the island from the northwest.
Park Ridge is also home to the Metropolis Sharks. Originally the Sharks played in New Troy, but when building a new stadium in 2010, team owners found Park Ridge easier for parking and far less expensive in land costs.
|
Bakerline |
Sitting at the northern end of the 6 Metropolitan boroughs, Bakerline is home to many middle class working families who often commute into New Troy. Aside from Monarch Field, this middle class, residential community is also home to Metropolis' Naval Yard. The Metropolis Monorail runs south out of Bakerline and into New Troy to help deter traffic congestion.
|
St. Martin's Island |
St. Martin's Island is the most posh and pristine of the boroughs. Affordable only by the wealthy, St. Martin's is shrouded in forests with small pockets for mansions. While the Monorail does not have a stop out here, there are a pair of automobile bridges that make the large island accessible.
|
West River |
The West River flows in from mainland Delaware and splits at New Troy where it connects with Hobbs River to the north. The rest of the river continues to the south and spills out past the many islands of Metropolis and out into the Delaware Bay.
|
New Troy |
The island of New Troy is one of the most well known places in the world. The skyline is easily recognizable with its plethora of skyscrapers and waterways of the Hobbs River to the north and the West River to the south and west. To the east lies the Delaware Bay. A maze of bridgework for roads and for the Metropolis Monorail splays out like a spider's web, connecting New Troy in every direction. It is known for its bustling and vibrant community. The Big Apricot is one of America's jewels.
|
Hell's Gate |
Hell's Gate sounds much worse than it really is. Sure, this neighborhood is one of the rougher ones in Metropolis, but it is still very safe compared to most city's standards.
The name derives from the treacherous waters awaiting ships as they make their way up the Delaware towards Philadelphia. Like Queensland Park, it has an extremely high immigrant population and has a dense population. The Monorail extends to the east out here, where it ends on the Blue line. |
Stryker's Island |
Stryker's Island is a tiny island out in the Delaware Bay and is home to the Delaware Penitentiary. The island is only accessible by water.
|
Hell's Gate |
Hell's Gate sounds much worse than it really is. Sure, this neighborhood is one of the rougher ones in Metropolis, but it is still very safe compared to most city's standards.
The name derives from the treacherous waters awaiting ships as they make their way up the Delaware towards Philadelphia. Like Queensland Park, it has an extremely high immigrant population and has a dense population. The Monorail extends to the east out here, where it ends on the Blue line. |
Route 16 |
Route 16 cuts across Delaware from Metropolis towards Chesapeake Bay, passing Holly Oak Creek Park, the Delaware State Fairgrounds, and the Hall of Justice.
