Geocities was a web hosting service founded in 1994 and was one of the
first website hosting services on the internet. It allowed users to
create their own personal websites, known as "web pages," and to publish
them on the internet for free. The service was particularly popular in
the late 1990s, and at its peak, it hosted over 38 million user-created
websites. The neighborhoods were based on real-world cities and locations, such as "Hollywood," "SiliconValley," and "SunsetStrip," and were intended to reflect the interests and themes of the web pages within them. For example, the "Hollywood" neighborhood might have web pages related to the entertainment industry, while the "SiliconValley" neighborhood might have web pages related to technology and startups.
