Tall Oaks was a small city in the United States, with a population numbering only 77000.[note 1] It was centre to a bioterrorist attack orchestrated by the National Security Advisor, Derek C. Simmons.

History

During a biohazardous outbreak some 70,000 people in the area were expected by Ingrid Hannigan to have been infected, totalling at 90% of the city's population. Later on the city was destroyed with a missile strike, officially, to prevent the C-Virus from spreading. In reality, just like Raccoon City - which succumbed to the same "Sterilization Operation" nearly fifteen years prior - this was a political decision made to prevent the recovery of information incriminating members of the US government in the outbreak.
