Early history[edit]
In the 20th-century, the military base Crow's Nest was constructed in the country.[8]
Due to economic stability and location, Mombasa was chosen to host Earth's first space elevator and construction began in 2302. By 2430, nearly a 74km radius around the city became known as "Old Mombasa".[9]
