Cornelius Coot

Cornelius Coot is the founder of the city of Duckburg and Grandfather of Grandma Duck, which makes him Donald Duck's great-great-grandfather.

During Cornelius's stay in Fort Drake Borough, it was attacked by Spanish soldiers. When the British were incapable of defending the fort, the commander made a deal with Cornelius: the fort would pass to his property so the British wouldn't be responsible if the Spanish took it. Cornelius agreed, and then popped some corn to make it sound like shots, which made the Spanish troops run away.

Cornelius renamed the fort as Fort Duckburg and turned it into a trading camp for hunters. Several people began to settle down and form families, and Cornelius himself started a farm of his own. A village was formed in Duckburg, with Cornelius as the leader.

In modern times, Duckburg has a statue of Cornelius Coot holding corn. It can be seen in several comic stories and there's also a real version of the statue in Toontown.
