- "New York may be the city that never sleeps, but Central City is the city always on the run."
- — Barry Allen
History[]
Pre Chrell Invasion[]
Central City, Missouri, located across the Missouri River from Keystone City, Kansas, was founded in the 19th century and became an important stop for cattle drives. It began to see tremendous growth after the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad, becoming the first major hub west of Chicago. A second period of growth occurred after World War I, and it has burgeoned to the present day. Central City was the home to the second Flash, Barry Allen.
In the 25th Century, the city became known as the Central Cityplex.
Post Chrell Invasion[]
Central City was devastated during the Chrell Invasion, as was Keystone City. Keystone City was in even worse shape then Central City. It had been reduced to rubble all the way down to the foundations. To this day Keystone remains a monument to that fateful invasion. The majority of the survivors from Keystone migrated to Central City and Missouri expanded the city limits and rebuilt the rolling metropolis as quickly as the state could get it done.
