Etymology
Bako-Huz has had that name only since 1733. The city had the name “Gerberg” before. Bako was the name of one of the neighbourhoods, near the river. Bako is the Darrsyan word for “Square/Plaza”. Bako is a neighbourhood surrounding a big square of the city named Jagged Grove∈⊾
Huz is the oldest neighbourhood of the city. It was founded around the 1st century as a mining village between two mountains rich in iron. The word “Huz” is the Darrsyan word for Iron (Fe).
On the year 1733 Gerberg suffered the so called “Gerberg Great Fire” in which only the neighbourhoods of Bako and Huz survived the flames. As the city was no longer existent, the area would be called Bako and Huz, later Bako-Huz. When rebuilding the city this name was kept instead of restoring the old one.
Symbols and Flags
The city of Bako-Huz used this symbol/flag when it was the capital city of the Andel Kingdom. This was kept as the city symbol until the Kofuken Colonial Era. The Zahino family was provided the control of Bako-Huz by the Ingerish colonial governor. The Zahino family’s coat of arms was introduced as the city symbol under the colonial rule. That has been the city symbol and flag until nowadays.

Andelimouth
[File:Kupferstich - Ingolstadt - 1818.jpg|thumb|left|Andelimouth 1802]] Andelimouth is first mentioned on the year 1432 on a census list. Written as “Andelyme, ar tyl Andel jangaste yasta” meaning “Andelyme, the village at the Andel River Ending” in Darrsian. Here it is shown that before the Ingerish colonisation, it was named Andelyme. Under the Ingerish rule it was changed to Andelimouth to have a name closer to Ingerland ones
The main touristic attraction of Andelimouth is the Basilica and the Red City Walls.
The Andelimouth Red City Walls were built on the year 1602 and reinforced on the year 1682. Under Ingerish rule the walls were added a new line of protection against cannons. It was used as the Ingerish colonial headquarters. Bako-Huz was too big and old for this.
The Andelimouth Basilica construction started in 1719 and ended in 1787. It has red walls and a green (oxidised-copper) roof the front facade holds two towers that act as bell towers.
The river Andel passes through Andelimouth. From where the district gets it’s name. The river sides are 25 meters elevated over the water. The first bridge across it was built in 1496. A big stone bridge part of the road from Bako-Huz to the Andel Valley. Nowadays it is only peatonal. Two road bridges were built under it.
The Sejve Emperor Mausoleum and the Mark Yado Mausoleum are located on the Andelimouth South Gates. The founder of the Kofuken nation, and the leader of the independence against Ingerland, respectively.

History
Zelanar Prehistoric Settlement
This settlement was discovered in 1876 by one of the forest rangers of this area. On 1893 the archaeologist Gorka Yagoson started a few minor excavations. He managed to convince the city to buy the terrain. Only 10% of the area was excavated by then. On 1956 the Bako-Huz government ordered to continue the excavations under the supervision of the archaeologist Kevin Hotz. After 9 the excavations ended and the area was open to visitors along with a small gallery where small remains are exposed. The parking lot was opened in 2004.
Gerberg
Before 1733, Bako-Huz name was “Gerberg”. Gerberg was founded around the 1st century as an iron mining village. Located on the current neighbourhood of Old Huz It continued being a village until the 1220s, when it conquered surrounding villages and created the Andel Kingdom. Slowly the village continued to grow to a big city as the centre of the Kingdom.
Under the Ingerish rule the city expanded and grew, as it was selected to be the capital of the Kofuku Colony. As explained in the Etymology section, the Great Gerberg Fire of 1733 destroyed the city.

Geography
Bako-Huz is located on the end of the Andel Valley, that comes from the west. With the Bjørn Bay on the northeast. The Kalangur plains on the east. The Fyne Monts on the south and more mountains on the North. Some city districts on the north and south of the city are located in valleys between hills. The rest of the city is relatively flat.
The Andel River crosses the whole city. Lakes can also be found inside the city. For example: Vertevannet Lake, George Lake, Zelanar Lake, Titovannet Lake, Moondew Lake, and Amusvann Lake.
Pollution
Across history, Bako-Huz hasn’t been a health city. When the Industrial Revolution first arrived to the country this city turned into being the industrial centre. Nowadays Bako-Huz still preserves remains of that industrial past. Such as the big inner railway network, the Lucca industries, and the Bako Este Industries.
Air pollution: The industrial activity polluted the city’s air until 1980 when a regulation on factory smoke was passed. Around that time, most factories had already moved from the city to the countryside. The regulation nowadays doesn’t allow the few factories still remaining in the city to produce any type of air pollution.
Light pollution: currently the light pollution of Bako-Huz is very high compared to the rest of the country. As it can be seen on this night picture, the mountains and lakes of the city make black shadows, while the rest of the city is alight. From the city, it is really hard to see stars, and only a few of them can be spotted. The surrounding areas also are affected from this light pollution. Currently the population doesn’t find it to be an issue.
Sound pollution: The average residential street in Bako-Huz is much less noisy than on the rest of the world. Highways constantly are provided with sound barriers to prevent noise reaching the living spaces. Currently the neighbourhood who is more sound pollution is Ohedes, which holds several stadiums and the city’s nightlife.

Bicycles
The citizens of Bako-Huz feel proud of having a percentage as high as 36% of transportation being made by bicycles. This has been made possible thanks to the dense network of cycle-ways and the so called "Bicycle Highways". These are a series of bicycle-ways which are designed to not have traffic lights or intersections with regular streets. As a normal car-highway would do. This allows for a fluent non-stop flow, therefore moving though the city much quicker, even sometimes faster than by car.
