 The original "Melontown" was founded on June 8, 2020, when livestreamer [[officials:therandommelon|Michael Webb/TheRandomMelon]] decided to open a Twitch subscriber-only server as a reward for their contribution to his stream, along with inviting some of his close friends to join as well. The original "Melontown" was founded on June 8, 2020, when livestreamer [[officials:therandommelon|Michael Webb/TheRandomMelon]] decided to open a Twitch subscriber-only server as a reward for their contribution to his stream, along with inviting some of his close friends to join as well.

 This ended up becoming a plot system that established the first ever currency; the iron ingot. Players would own a plot of land and would pay a small tax on it every so often, just like in today's Melonia. This was done because of griefing incidents that no one admitted to doing. The plots were enforced by a plugin named GriefProtection; this is not in use in Melonia today, and plots are instead enforced manually by the Melonian government. This ended up becoming a plot system that established the first ever currency; the iron ingot.

 +A month after the abrupt end of the original Melontown, Michael Webb decided, with a unanimous vote from several players of the first Melontown, to bring the subscriber-only server back online, this time paying for it himself using a hosting service called PebbleHost, which Melonia uses today for its server.

 +When the server officially opened, however, people mostly screwed around using creative mode and even used server hacks that allowed flying using boats. The next day, on August 7, Webb decided to reset the world, institute anti-cheating plugins, and make the server a survival server, ending the official use of creative mode throughout Melontown-Melonian history.
