Kinnaird is located in the Northwest portion of Moorden Governorate, and West of the [[Aileach Mountains]], situated along the [[Malentine Sea]]. It was founded in 1794 after an expedition by Ensign Francis Kinnaird established the town, the second attempt of its type as the first had been [[Arcer Bush Wars#1794 - Massacre of the Northern Caravan|destroyed by A'awaskan tribesmen]]. It grew rapidly along with the rest of Moorden Governorate throughout the 1800s, and as of 1850 it had a population of over 200,000 citizens, placing it third behind [[Chester-on-Moore]] and Kurst. The population continued to grow with the end of the 19th century bringing in more migrants, with Kinnaird being settled by a majority of [[Ænglish people|Ængle]] immigrants from [[Levantia]]. A significant boom occurred once the Arco National Railway Service had been created and a major railway station was built in Kinnaird. The railway junction became one of the main arteries feeding into the Southern portions of the [[Arcer Heartland]], and the significant flow of money, material, and people through Kinnaird helped with the turn-of-the century boom. | Kinnaird is located in the Northwest portion of Moorden Governorate, and West of the [[Aileach Mountains]], situated along the [[Malentine Sea]].

Kinnaird also established one of the earliest financial centres in Arcerion and [[Crona]], with the [[Kinnaird Stock Exchange|Kinnaird Stock Exchange's]] founding in 1822. This helped it grow into one of the most financially important centres in South Crona, and the headquarters of a dozen major banks currently operate in the city's financial district within the downtown core. The heavy investment of money and the architectural and engineering program at the [[Universities in Arcerion#Moorden|Moorden Governorate College]] helped with the creation of some of Crona's first skyscrapers built with glass and steel in the 1940s. | Kinnaird also established one of the earliest [[Banking in Arcerion|financial centres]] in Arcerion and [[Crona]], with the [[Kinnaird Stock Exchange|Kinnaird Stock Exchange's]] founding in 1822.
