Duckburg is a Fictional City which appears in Walt Disney 's Comic Book s and animated projects. In the comics and Cartoon s, Duckburg is the home of Donald Duck , Scrooge McDuck , Huey, Dewey And Louie Duck, Daisy Duck , and most of their supporting cast. Duckburg was first mentioned in '' Walt Disney's Comics And Stories '' #49 in 1944 , and was created by Carl Barks . FEATURES Duckburg is a medium size city located in the Fictional United States State of Calisota . In comic writer Don Rosa 's stories, Duckburg is located on the west coast of the United States, though other writers leave the city's location as vaguely defined. The city is populated by various Anthropomorphized animals, with Duck s, Dog s, and Pig s the most dominant ones. Duckburg's most prominent resident is Scrooge McDuck , the wealthiest duck in the world. Duckburg serves as the headquarters for his global business empire, with many of Duckburg's businesses owned by Scrooge. In some stories, Scrooge's wealthy rivals, Flintheart Glomgold and John D. Rockerduck also have holdings or residences in Duckburg, and compete fiercely against Scrooge. The most prominent landmark in Duckburg is Scrooge McDuck's money bin, a giant building sitting on Killmotor Hill (formerly known as Killmule Hill) in the center of town. The money bin contains both office space and, most famously, three cubic acres of money, the results of Scrooge's lifetime of business and treasure-seeking adventures. Another major landmark in some stories is a large Statue of Duckburg's founder, Cornelius Coot . Duckburg is also the headquarters of the Billionaire's Club, a special club for various wealthy businessmen. McDuck, Rockerduck, and sometimes Glomgold are members of the club. Another important organization founded in Duckburg is the Junior Woodchucks , a rather mysterious Boy Scout -like club in which Huey, Dewey And Louie are members. Duckburg also features a sea port and is in proximity to several Mountain s. Located near Duckburg is a Farm owned and run by Grandma Duck , Donald's paternal Grandmother . Donald's cousin Gus Goose also lives on Grandma's farm as a "farmhand," though his laziness makes him a rather poor farmhand. The farm is often a gathering site for various Duck family holiday celebrations. HISTORY Duckburg has been given a long history by many creators, including such writers as Barks and current Duck comic writer Don Rosa. In the comics, the location that would eventually become known as Duckburg was originally known as "Fort Drake Borough," a fort built in the 16th Century by British explorer Sir Francis Drake . By the 19th Century , the fort had been handed over by its departing British occupants to Cornelius Coot , who renamed the fort "Duckburg." Duckburg remained a quiet, small town until the arrival of wealthy businessman Scrooge McDuck, who proceeded to construct his famous money bin and established various businesses in and around Duckburg. This construction caused Duckburg's population to swell, and turned the small town into a bustling city within several decades' time. IN OTHER MEDIA
