History[]
New Salem is a town in the United States, where both humans and monsters live, if largely separated out of mutual preference. It is a fictional, Monster-High-exclusive town either in the state of Oregon or unknown state, but is considered to be in Oregon due to the book series takes place in Salem, Oregon. The same is also true for all types of monsters in New Salem, who have their own areas within the monster area. Tension from a few centuries past still exists between the monsters and humans, but mostly they leave each other alone. New Salem adds at least two high schools: a high school for the local human population called New Salem High, and an international high school for monsters, called Monster High.
In the Ghoulfriends series, Skelen Moania a zombie and her family were the the first inhabitants of New Salem, as Skelen is the founder of the town's oldest cemetery, the Skelemoanian.
In the main series, Halloween had a prestige of being a bad day for monsters, the New Salem monster population had never been bothered in years by the human population. So when Monster High was attacked by students of New Salem High a few days before Halloween, preparations were lacking. Especially Frankie Stein, who was to experience her first Halloween ever, could scarcely cope with the hostilities, and sought for a way to stop it. With a couple of friends, she found an answer in the Hall of Halloween in the catacombs, where evidence was found that Halloween was initially about celebrating human-monster relations rather than hunting monsters. But when she shared her findings with her school, most of her friends organized themselves to get back at the humans using their tricks.
Frankie came up with a plan to save Holt during his execution and appease the humans with an invitation to a true Halloween party at the Hall of Halloween, which required the efforts of both her monster friends and new human friends. Some parts went easier than others, but the plan worked, supposedly ending the Halloween tradition and much of the human-monster tension in New Salem.
Monster High was established a bit over 2000 years ago, though this doesn't mean it has always been located where it is in the modern day. The school's 'basement' is the catacombs, a large underground maze of neglected rooms and corridors, which appears to have existed well before Monster High was built on top of it. As well, below the pool of the school is a large chasm known as the Deep End, which interior is even more of a mystery to anyone than the catacombs are.
The cemetery is a location nearby Monster High. It is unknown whether it is a monster cemetery or belongs to the humans of New Salem. Either way, it is one of the favored hangouts of the Monster High student body, both as a location of parties and a place to get some privacy.
The City of Boo York, commonly known as Boo York City, is a city located in the State of Boo York in the world of Monster High. And is where the movie "Boo York, Boo York" takes place.
