The late 19th century and early 20th century saw a population explosion for Cara County as the [[Great Wars]] ravaged Sarpedon. The Department of Defense started heavily investing in the area of northern Verona due to its low cost compared to Alahuela proper and neighboring Alexandria. As a result, many employees of the government, and especially the Department of Defense, both contract and permanent hires, found themselves working in the county. This sparked a migration from other parts of the state and country as the DoD attempted to consolidate its resources and administration in the area, ultimately choosing LaMarque as the location for [[Fortaleza]], the DoD's headquarters. | The late 19th century and early 20th century saw a population explosion for Cara County as the [[Great Wars]] ravaged Sarpedon.

The county's involvement with the federal government continued to grow as other government offices and agencies began to relocate from other parts of the country and Alahuela to Verona in an effort to save costs while still being quite close to the capital. The result was a five-county area in Verona that today amounts to 7.2 million residents, the overwhelming majority of the Alahuela metro area. Throughout the 1960s, the county's public university, the [[University of Verona, Northwest]], in collaboration with [[Erudite University of Alahuela|Erudite]] and the [[Department of Energy and Mineral Resources|Energy Department]], began a research study on the recently discovered plutonium, in which uranium was irradiated and transmuted into plutonium. The plutonium was then chemically separated from the uranium, using the bismuth phosphate process. This allowed the university and federal government to create and test the country's first nuclear warhead in an effort to deter Venceia from dropping another bomb during the cold war like it had done in [[ | The county's involvement with the federal government continued to grow as other government offices and agencies began to relocate from other parts of the country and Alahuela to Verona in an effort to save costs while still being quite close to the capital.

This research was known as Project Io. | ||
With the surge in population following the postwar baby boom and a growing preference for suburban living, large-scale housing developers seized opportunities to acquire expansive agricultural lands within the central county. These developers transformed the once predominantly rural landscape, dominated by pineapple fields and cattle ranches, into affordable, low-density suburbs. Typically, modestly priced homes were erected on spacious {{convert|0.1|ha|acre|sp=us|adj=on}} lots, catering to the demand for three- and four-bedroom houses with generous yards. This residential expansion was driven not only by the high population density in [[Alahuela]] but also by the growing desire for larger, more affordable housing options beyond the established districts of the capital city. | With the surge in population following the postwar baby boom and a growing preference for suburban living, large-scale housing developers seized opportunities to acquire expansive agricultural lands within the central county.
