Timeline

Before 17th century

• Native Americans conduct rituals here. This land is valued as a sacred place in Native American religion and they revered the town as "The Place of the Silenced Spirits". The land is known as a sacred place and seemed to possess a mysterious power.[1]

1600s

• In the late 1600s, settlers begin to come to Silent Hill from Europe. The Native Americans had to abandon the town. [2]

1700s

• In the early 1700s, a mysterious epidemic breaks out, and the town is abandoned. [3]

1800s

1810

• Around this time, the town is resettled as a penal colony. Silent Hill Prison and Brookhaven Hospital are constructed. Brookhaven Hospital was built in response to a great plague that followed a wave of immigration to this area. It was originally little more than a shack, but it gradually grew and grew. It was at this time that the town was given the name "Silent Hill". [4]

1820

• According to the style, Allen Smith paints Waterfront Landscape around this time, a scene of this area from long ago. There were a lot fewer people then, and only a handful of buildings. [5]

• In Silent Hill 2, a note is found in Toluca Prison:

"September 11, 1820

Prisoner number: C-221" [6]

This is strange because Toluca Prison camp hasn't been built until 1862 and the note refers to 1820.

1840

• Around this time, Silent Hill Prison closes. [7]

1850

• A coal field is discovered and Wiltse Coal Mine opens, which leads to the revitalization of the town. [8]

1861

• The American Civil War begins.

• Patrick Chester and his son both participate in the American Civil War. [9]

1862

• Toluca Prison Camp is constructed for POWs. [10]

1865

• The American Civil War ends in a Union victory.

1866

• Toluca Prison Camp is converted into Toluca Prison. [11]

1890

• Around this time, people start to mysteriously disappear all over town. [12]

1900s

• In the early 1900s, Toluca Prison closes and Silent Hill becomes a tourist area. [13]

• Late 20th Century-- The mayor of Silent Hill dies suddenly and, one after the other, the staff at a development group for the town die accidental deaths.
• Late 20th Century-- Alessa Gillespie is born.

• Late 20th Century-- The events of Silent Hill: Origins and Silent Hill occur.

1918

• In November, a ship called The Little Baroness went missing in Toluca Lake. (Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill: The Arcade)

1939

1954

• Adam Shepherd is born.

1961

• In July 12th, Richard Grady hangs himself in Room 500 of Riverside Motel.

1993
