jan 1, 1760 - MACUSA relocates to Williamsburg

Description:

The Magical Congress of the United States was housed in a secret edifice somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains until 1760, when it was relocated to Williamsburg, Virginia, the home of Thornton Harkaway, then President of MACUSA.

Unfortunately for the local No-Maj population, President Harkaway raised Crups, a type of magical Jack Russell terrier very protective of wizards. The vicious creatures attacked several non-magical residents of Williamsburg, leading to a breach of the International Statute of Secrecy. Thus President Harkaway was forced out of office in disgrace, and Williamsburg became the first city in the United States to have a psychiatric hospital for any No-Majs who “saw things” during that time.
