The origin of Park Hills is fraught with myth. The exact date and time when the city came into being are unknown, but it was not before 2090 and not after 2100. According to legend, Licca Fluday, revered as a goddess, was the one who lead the refugees of Saint Louis and the surrounding territory into what would become Park Hills. The refugees settled in the ruins of the town of Park Hills, which had been abandoned. It is said that Licca taught the early citizens of Park Hills how to identify certain minerals, as well as survey the land to find the best veins, basic mine-shaft construction techniques, and how to build a functional metal smelter.
