There was a TCB story I read a way while back about a newfoal that moved out of Ponyville to live on his own and ended up accidentally founding a town when others followed his example. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called.

Goodness... I can't remember this story either! I am very sorry - I should know, but... I have forgotten entirely. My apologies.

Hopefully someone else will. I think it's only about 5 or 6 chapters long and I think in the second to last one Celestia visits the town. I remember her and the MC's "discussion" was the highlight of the story and is the main reason I am trying to find it again.

Yep, this was it. Thank you. Now I remember, after re-reading, that I really wished this story was expanded upon. There is alot of potential here. If the author is unwilling maybe another can get permission to do something with it.

I hadn't read that one yet. For the lazy:
