Prior to mass Gothic settlement in 1585, Neu Maessen was an Indigeno-Calderan town called "Blue Water" with a population of roughly 42,000. Blue Water was a fishing town with several buildings dedicated to gods, but was not nearly as popular as Neu Maessen is today. Proportionately, more Volins live in Neu Maessen today than they lived in Blue Water.

Many [[Volkspartei]] members saw Neu Maessen as being a terrible city for legislating the new Gothic nation because of how many Volins were in the city. This resulted in the creation of [[Little Caldera]] in 1607, but residents of Neu Maessen enjoyed the area so much that they refused to move to a new city, legislating in Neu Maessen until it became illegal in 1619.

Active pro-Volin politics in Neu Maessen triggered waves of immigration in the 1860s and 1870s. Neu Maessen is home to at least 180,000 Volin and Volin Gothic residents, making it the largest Volin community outside of Bavogia. In the 1890s the Volkspartei enabled immigration to Austro-Caldera of some residents from the newly created [[Anglei|United Angle States]]. Today, ethnic Ænglish from the United Angle States make up the largest portion of the Ænglish-speaking community. The last decade experienced an influx from various [[Occidental world|Occidental]] countries and some [[Levantine Union|Levantine]] regions. Many foreigners are drawn to Neu Maessen for its tropical environment and high quality of life.
