Coria is a city in the province of the Cape. The city is situated on the small Selaforta River which feeds into the southern inlet of the Creagmer; the city center itself sits about a half mile inland from the Creagmer, making Coria a relatively important port city. The city is one of the oldest continually settled urban areas in Urcea, and was established as a colony of Adonerum in around the year 920 BC, predating the establishment of Urceopolis by about 40 years. The urban core of Coria is similar to that of Urceopolis's "Old City", retaining some of the basic, three-milennia-old urban layout of its foundation. Unlike Urceopolis, Coria never became a nation-leading urban area, instead remaining a slow-but-steadily growing Creagmer port city for most of its existence. The city was an early adopter of industrialization due to its favorable location.
Among other industries, the city is well known for its historic association with the industrial processing of fowl, giving it the nickname "Birdtown". The long association between chicken and Coria is perhaps best known from the fast food chain Coria Clux, which began in Coria. Though most of the industrial slaughter houses closed by the 1950s, the nickname and "bird culture" remain. The Coria Hens are a CBC minor league team in a league associated with the Urceopolis Imperials. Many bars and restaurants in Coria have a chicken-based visual theme.
Coria is a moderately popular domestic tourist location. Most Coria tourists visit from Urceopolis. Besides several famous bird-related restaurants, the city's close proximity to the Creagmer makes it a desirable location for beach-goers. The Creagmer beaches in the area are gentle and mostly sheltered, making it a favorable swimming locale. The city's population allows tourists to have access to a wide variety of amenities, but it is much less densely populated than much of Urcea's western coast, contributing to its reputation as a reasonable getaway for dwellers of the Valley.
In 1954, Coria hosted the second Istroyan Games - the Coria 1954 Summer Games. The city was selected due to its favorable waters and accessible port facilities. The 42,000 seat Istroyan Stadium was built for the games. In 1972, the stadium was downsized significantly to 28,000 by demolishing one of the stands as part of a plan to make it economically viable. The facility today hosts both the minor league baseball Coria Hens as well as football and baseball for the local university, the University of Coria.
