I'm working on a fictional city for Champions. The backhistory is still relatively unformed, but it is based on this:
A group of super heroes served bravely for over a decade, defending the nation etc. They began to get a bit long in the tooth (as super heroes go) and decided to retire. One of their last acts was to save a Governor, who told them once "if there is any thing I can do to repay you". While they normally declined rewards, they did ask a favor in. The team purchased (at good rates) a sizable piece of land to build their dream homes away from the world, for the safety of themselves, their children, and any friends who wanted to join them.
Heroes being heroes though, they couldn't quite leave things simple. They used their various mystic gifts, technological devices and metahuman might to shape things up a tad. What was only 'okay' property was made more fertile, more useful, and more self sufficient. They incorporated some of the things gained from fallen foes and put those resources to work as well.
They became something of a tourist spot, and small businesses formed around their property. When their fame began to dwindle off completely, feeling somewhat responsible, they decided to take it a step up and help the tiny population. Suddenly they were constructing a town.
Over the years, some close calls, and so on, that town has grown into a city.
I'm still undecided what state in the United States to put it and where, so I apologize for not having a better description of topography.
That said, I could use a name.
I was thinking of Haven, but Connecticut might complain.
Any ideas?
