Around 1500-An Indian tribe lived in there, the area was known as a sacred spot by these people. They called it the Place Of the Silenced Spirits and were capable to talk with their dead ancestors. Later around the time of the 16th century settlers arrived in the sacred region built a town which name has been lost in the veils of history. In the 17th century A fatal disease fell on the settlers who decided to abandon their homes. The abandoned town was settled in the mid 18th century as a penal colony by a new group of settlers who named and founded the town Silent Hill.
