This article is about the location in Cyberpunk 2020. For other uses, see Heywood (disambiguation).Heywood was a city located in the Greater Night City Area, as well as a suburb of Central Night City. It would eventually become Heywood-Santo Domingo.
Overview[]
Heywood was a light industrial and residential area that lied east of San Morro Bay and southeast of Night City. This city had a little of everything, housing, industry, retail shopping, a few bars and parks, and several beaverville complexes, of which the most well-known was Apple Corporate Valley. In many ways, it was the most independent of the suburbs in the Greater Night City Area, though its economy was still tied to Night City.
Most of Heywood's rolling hills were dotted with large, sprawling factories and industrial complexes. Among these one could find an Arasaka arms factory, several Biotechnica research stations, two EBM storage and research stations, and many other similar facilities. These bland, mass-designed industrial parks dotted the hills of Heywood, some being underground or aboveground complexes, and others smaller in size or sprawling over acres of land. At some point, there were so many of them that even the Heywood City Council didn't know all of their names or what their purpose was.[1][2][3]
NCART connections with the metropolitan area were available from Heywood.[1]

- ↑ Mike Pondsmith on Reddit: "I never expected this to be that interesting. Night City started out as a map of Morro Bay, where I used to drive thru on occasion. The City was on the tip of the isthmus. But I realized I needed more room for the City, so I filled in part of the real bay and then cut the isthmus apart in the south to allow a lower harbor, using San Francisco as a model. So Los Osos is where Rancho Cornonado and Heywood would be. Of course, the place has been heavily fictionalized since then so that it doesn't really match any real place in California any more."
