The Mainland

The Mainland is a large area in Rivers SMP where many of the shops and oldest buildings in Rivers are. The Mainland is also home to the Rivers spawnpoint and many of it's public areas.

History
The Mainland was originally just a plain dark oak biome before the first two players on Rivers SMP made it their home. During that very early time, a small dirt block/dark oak wood hut was built on the side of a hill. Overtime, that building became The Mainplace. Since The Mainplace was across a river, a bridge was built across it. That bridge extended to become a road extending halfway across The Mainland's original territory. Much later, after the rise of shops in The Mainland, it became known as "The Rivers Shop Area". Somewhere in August, the term for The Mainland was being thrown around by a couple of people. Later on, it seems now as if a majority of the players in Rivers call it "The Mainland". Many of the players agreed on the loose name transition from "The Rivers Shop Area" to "The Mainland", because it only seemed fit that the oldest, still standing building in Rivers, was called The Mainplace.
