History
The modern suburb of Pete's Corner was established by Peter "Pete" Eysark in 1935 as New Bark Junction. The village's original name was named after New Bark Town to the south, which was in turn named for the previously undocumented types of trees seen in the area. It was conveniently located at the junction of River Drive (then Eastern Mile Road) and New Bark Highway. Pete's Corner became a popular rest point for travellers coming from Notchropolis to the west. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, New Bark Junction rapidly increased in size and population. The town became colloquially known as "Pete's Corner" after a general store with the same name opened in 1961. This store was run by Eysark's son Nathan Eysark. In 1968, the town was officially renamed Pete's Corner after a local referendum was held.

By the mid 2030s the urban sprawl of Notchropolis had reached the Eysark River and Pete's Corner became an outer suburb of the city. In the last 20 years, the suburb has seen a rapidly increasing economy and geopolitical status as a commercial hub of the eastern Notchropolis region.
