Central City (Earth-1)


 * For the Earth Two equivalent, see Central City (Earth Two).

Central City is a city located 600 miles from Star City. The city's power grid was being used excessively by Scott Morgan's company, leading to brownouts. Also, a particle accelerator was built by S.T.A.R. Labs, though not long after it being turned on it exploded, causing a shock-wave to blow through the city. This resulted in the creation of an unknown number of meta-humans. Barry Allen/The Flash and the S.T.A.R. Labs' team fight crime against meta-humans in it.

Following a black hole that S.T.A.R. Labs failed to shut down before its creation, half of the city has been destroyed.

Behind the Scenes

 * In the DC comic books, Central City is located in Missouri.
 * Dinah tells Laurel that she'll be "home in a flash", to Central City as a reference to Barry Allen, also known as the superhero The Flash, whose home is Central City in the DC comics.
 * Portland, Oregon is used for the Overview shots utilizing all of the bridges. S.T.A.R. Labs is digitally added in Southeast Portland.
 * Central City, like Starling City (now Star City), has almost been destroyed a total of 5 times so far in the series. It was a destroyed by a Tidal Wave during Season 1's "Out of Time" in an alternate timeline, was again almost destroyed in Season 1's "Plastique," was almost destroyed during Season 1's "The Nuclear Man", was almost destroyed again during the Season 1 finale "Fast Enough" and was finally destroyed completely in an alternate timeline, "Legends of Today." Ironically beating Star City in the many number of times the city has been destroyed.
