Crooketon is a suburb of Malton, located on the western edge of the city. It was once known for wide streets and an abundance of medical facilities, including four hospitals. Noted residents include the Dewberry family who constructed two office buildings, and the MacRae family who owned a small bank and sponsored a local park which now bears their name.

As of the 13th of November Crooketon had the least page hits of any suburb in Malton, with just 22,380, perhaps suggesting Crooketon is the most neglected suburb in Urban Dead.

This group has been removed from the Suburb Listing. Feel free to re-add it if you know it's still active. --Janus ^talk 14:19, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

February 15^th

Most of the suburb is repaired and/or powered, and plenty of survivors in the area. No longer a ghost town. --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 20:22, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

January 29^th

The suburb seems mostly repaired, many buildings are powered and zombie presence is very sparse. Most buildings remain devoid of life, though. Crooketon is now a tidy ghost suburb, instead of a ruined ghost suburb. --Doc Groucho 00:58, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

January 24^th

The northern side is mostly repaired, though a few zombie groups are attacking the northern Dewberry Building, Margaret General and Matheos General Hospital.--Doc Groucho 13:28, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

January 14^th

Zombies seem to be coordinating to sleep one in each ruined building, hampering any reconstruction effort. A great commitment of a few heavy-duty survivors is required to reclaim each building. --Doc Groucho 15:51, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

January 12^th

St. Dorotheus Church, one of the few safehouses in the area, was lost over night, after some clever zombies figured out where the people was coming from. The amount of ruins and lack of a regularly working hospital is making life harder for infected survivors. This morning a couple more zombies were seen standing at the revive point. Antheros General Hospital was recovered by midday, though it isn't expected to last. --Doc Groucho 15:17, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Update: It didn't last.

January 10^th

The status in SE Crooketon is grey. Repair work is progressing slowly. --Doc Groucho 22:00, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

January 8^th

Update: Mores is EHB, unlit, and empty, and the hospital next door (Methodius) is lit, EHB, and also empty. The immediate area is somewhat well caded, though breakins are frequent. --BobBoberton 02:41, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Mores Lane PD is lost. Hungry stragglers are strafing all kinds of buildings, making the suburb unsuitable for anybody that doesn't sleep with one eye open and the backpack on. Finding a peaceful neighborhood requires some walking and tools for repairing shelters are a must. --Doc Groucho 15:56, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

January 7^th

Update: Almost all buildings have zombies outside, and there are at least six groups of five or more zombies. Overall zombie count is likely to be over 60, which is quite a feat for this ghost version of a forgotten suburb. It seems that any interesting building will be ruined, again, in a couple days.

Damage at the center of Crooketon is speeding up as a combined mob of twenty zombies pushes against a couple survivor pockets. Margaret General Hospital was ruined during the night. Scouting found one dead corpse, possibly from a victim, though the facility has been kept empty most of the time. As the sun set the 6th, the local revive point was still occupied by five standing zombies. Shortage of generators and transmitters is keeping the suburb silent, dark and cold, just a bit more than usual --Doc Groucho 03:53, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

January 6^th

Margaret hospital has been up and powered for several days, and zombies from the surrounding area have gathered outside of it and are trying to shut it down. Although survivor resistance is dauntingly small, their skill and experience have prevented the fall of the suburb into complete ruin. --Doc Groucho 15:06, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

January 4^th

The northern factory and the surrounding buildings have been overrun and the remaining survivors are leaving the last safehouse. Most buildings were empty and few casualties are expected. --Doc Groucho 20:35, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

January 1^st

Feral zombies are slowly ravaging the center of Crooketon. It looks like what ever survivor presence that was here has vanished. Within a week this suburb is probably gonna fall back into ghosttown status. If you are gonna sleep here, check your surroundings. The break ins are slow, but they do happen.--Slavic 22:07, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
