Mandrasar was founded as a mill and market-town by [[Taństan Coscivians]] in 20546. As Fariva industrialised beginning in the 20970s, Mandrasar, which was located near (but not quite on) the eastern seaboard's {{wp|fall line}}, became a secondary center of industrial activity. Under Kirosocialist rule during the 21160s, the government of Fariva established the Fariva Technical Institute in Mandrasar, which trained a large number of informaticians, engineers and scientists. After the fall of Kirosocialism and the (coastal) Kiravian economic miracle of the 21190s, Mandrasar became home to many wealthy Kiravians who had made their fortunes in Bérasar, many with the help of foreign investors and markets, and also to many FTI-educated returnees who had emigrated during the ''kuaxyrvrætor''. This influx of residents with cosmopolitan worldviews laid the foundation for Mandrasar's later reputation as a center of Western culture in Kiravia. | Mandrasar was founded as a mill and market-town by [[Taństan Coscivians]] in 20546.
