Tall Oaks

Tall Oaks was a city in the United States, with a population numbering roughly 77,000.^{[note 1]} It was the focus of a bioterrorist attack orchestrated by the National Security Adviser, Derek C. Simmons.

History

During a biohazardous outbreak, some 70,000 people in the area were expected by Ingrid Hannigan to have been infected, totaling at 90% of the city's population. Later on, the city was destroyed with a missile strike; this was done to, officially, 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.

Geography

The city was located around the New England (Northeast) region of the United States.^{[excerpt 1]} It gets its name from the oak, a tree which lives in large numbers in the nearby Northeastern coastal forests along with the "Boston Ivy".

According to a subway map of the city, it is bordered on the south and west by a river.

Landmarks

Ivy University was located near the center of the city, and was a major educational landmark.^{[excerpt 2]} A church is in the city's outskirts.

The city planning was well thought-out, with a wide array of stores from gun shops to cafes neatly lined out around the subway stations.^{[excerpt 3]}
