Irvington is a farming town in southwest Knox Country, directly south of Echo Creek. Kentucky 79 runs through it. The Irvington Speedway lies just north of town.
Irvington looks humble, but it is famous for speed. The speedway drew racing fans from around the world before the outbreak. Away from race days, locals played games at The Wizard's Keep. They bought guns at Well Regulated Militia and looked over livestock at Brott Cattle Farm.
Crop fields and animal pastures surround the town on nearly every side. Irvington is far larger than Echo Creek and bigger than Ekron. Most of that size comes from wide residential areas with buildings set far apart.
The town counts as a medium place to survive. It is harder than Riverside or Echo Creek and about as hard as Muldraugh. The dead are spread across a large area, so the crowd seems bigger than it is. Irvington has reliable spawns of good weapons. It suits a survivor who plans long supply runs and a farm on the edge of town.
Irvington Layout
Irvington's rural layout spreads into one wide, loose town. A large residential area sits in the middle. It separates the northern side of town from the southern outskirts.
The northern side holds public services and industry. The police station, the Irvington Fire Department, the Irvington Town Hall and Knox Bank stand here. U-Store It, the trainyard and Car Fix-Ation lie close by. The dead grow thicker the closer one gets to the train tracks.
The southern outskirts hold most of the shops. Kentucky 79 carries a strip of stores, a motel and several gas stations. A shopping plaza in the southwest groups The Wizard's Keep, Well Regulated Militia, Time 4 Sport and GigaMart.
Irvington Elementary stands south of the town centre. The Irvington Gun Club lies to the west. The Irvington Public Pool sits at the western edge of the homes.
Industry and farms ring the east. Beef Chunk Jerky Co., Mass-Genfac Co. and a wrecking yard sit east of the strip. Brott Cattle Farm and F. Arable lie farther east. Army barracks stand to the northeast.
The Irvington Speedway lies northwest. Echo Creek lies to the north. Wadsworth Lake and Hog Wallow Forest lie to the northeast.

Possible Loot Items in Irvington
Irvington is a strong town for supply runs. Many of the best stops sit on the southern side.

Hobbs and Perkins Hardware is the main stop for tools and melee weapons. The Metalhead Tool Shop adds metalworking gear. Time 4 Sport stocks sporting goods. Farming and Rural Supply on the strip carries seeds and outdoor gear.

Surviving in Irvington
The greatest danger in Irvington is getting surrounded with nowhere to run. The dead are spread evenly across a wide town. A fight in the open can draw zombies from every side.
The wide gaps between buildings make the problem worse. Cover is far apart, so a fleeing survivor is easy to spot. The same open ground also helps. Zombies are easy to see coming across the fields. Groups can be fought on open ground with little chance of surprise.
Fire is fairly safe in most of the town, since buildings stand far apart. The northern side is the exception. Its key buildings sit close together, and a fire there can spread to the loot.
Decent combat skills help a lot here. Most character builds can still do well in Irvington.
The farms around town make good homes for a crop or livestock base. Brott Cattle Farm and A-1 Hay are rural farmsteads east of town.
Starting in Irvington
A new character in Irvington begins in a two story house on the far western edge of the homes. A large open field lies next to it, near the Irvington Public Pool. The first goals are a weapon and food from nearby houses. The southwest plaza with GigaMart and Well Regulated Militia lies within reach. The Irvington Gun Club nearby is another early target once the character is armed.
Notes
- The Irvington Speedway sits just north of town on the way to Echo Creek.
- Well Regulated Militia is an army surplus store in the southwest plaza.
- Crowds grow thicker near the train tracks on the north side.
- Open fields make zombies easy to see before they arrive.
- A block near Irvington Elementary recreates homes from a famous animated sitcom.
