Dakota (Earth-6587)

"We live in a city full of Metahumans who continually do whatever they want, Flash included."

- - Scott Evans

Dakota is a large city located in Ohio, United States, consisting of three main, large islands, Neon, Warren, and Historical District. In 2011, a particle accelerator was constructed by S.T.A.R. Labs, but an accident caused it to explode, creating a shock wave with extradimensional energy that blew through the city and created numerous Metahumans in the event that became known as the "Big Bang".

Early History
Dakota was founded in 1852 in the state of Ohio. Six months later, a devastating flood struck the city, but most of its inhabitants managed to make it out alive.

Through most of its history, Central City had causes of civil unrest, such as the the Riots, which saw dozens of assailants killed and police officers injured. A new political plan surged through this time and ended most of the infighting.

The Big Bang Incident
In 2011, the particle accelerator, an equipment created by S.T.A.R. Labs, accidentally detonated, creating a radius of interdimensional dark matter to spread and radiate through Central City, mutating numerous inhabitants.
