Raccoon City, Pennsylvania was a mountain city that was destroyed by the US military in 1998 in response to a viral outbreak.

History[]


Economy[]

Raccoon City hosts numerous small restaurants and bars, catering to University Students and the working class. However, the economy of Raccoon City is dominated by the Umbrella Corporation.

Geography[]

The Victory Lake district in the north of the city moves into Raccoon Forest, and also contains a public park, Victory Park.[1] This district was the centre of the "cannibal killings" and vicious animal attacks in mid-1998,[2] which Police Chief Irons theorized was a sign that a criminal gang was hiding in this area.[3]

Cider is the name of another district. It was here in 1994 that Chief Irons was implicated in a land-grabbing scam, though no official link was established in court.[4] Trask was a decent-quality, working-class district five minutes drive from the police department; Leon Kennedy bought a studio apartment here.[5]

Landmarks[]

The Raccoon City Police Department was originally constructed as the city hall, but was converted into a library in the 1980s before the police department purchased it in 1994.[6]

Emmy's is the name of a diner in the city outskirts. It was here that Chris Redfield was to meet his friend Billy, who never showed up.[7]
