WestPac City began its life in the early 1890's when a group of Americans, Asians, and Middle Eastern natives began a settlement in the city. Prior to 1910, the city was known as the Apalachee. By 1915, the city's population grew to 10,000 people. Before World War 1, the city was peaceful without any major incidents. However, World War 1 destroyed much of the city, killing 3,000 people. By 1921, the city was rebuilt and population grew to 67,000. The city was spared from the Great Depression in the 1930s and survived World War II.
