History Duckburg has been given a long history by many creators, including such writers as Carl Barks and Don Rosa. As revealed in the comic His Majesty, McDuck, the location that would eventually become the center of Duckburg was originally known as "Fort Drake Borough," a fort built in the 16th century by British explorer Sir Francis Drake.
