Lunarvale is one of the largest towns on MeteorCraft. It is located in the centre of the map, close to Quick Fast Town and Fort Selenia, and forms the westernmost reach of the Spawn City.

History
Lunarvale was founded on April, 2012. The town was named Lunarvale in reference to the video 'Epic Wub Time: Musicians of Ponyville'. The first buildings in the town were Electra Manor, the Lunarvale Forum, and the Lunarvale Courthouse. The town originally had a wall with two exits: the first was a road exit to the south, where an area called District 12 was located; the second was a rail link to the east which originally connected to Innaeta-Cherriton. Eventually, the wall was torn down as the town grew, at around the same time as was built Quinny's Old House. Some remains of the wall can be seen under the Lake of the Moon.

During Canihavesnowplease, the town was moved to be to the north of Ashenvale, connecting the ocean to Horseshoe Lake via the Lunarvale Canal.

During genmap, the town was moved to be south-west of Ashenvale along the coast. In 2016, the town was connected to the Red Line, Green Line and Blue Line, which can be accessed through Lunarvale International station in the Administrators' District. There are plans to connect the unstarted Pink Line to the town via Lunarvale Port station. In 2018, a small section of the abandoned Innaeta-Cherriton railway link were rediscovered underneath the Lake of the Moon, and can now be visited.

Lore
Lunarvale's only celebrity resident is DJ and producer Vinyl Scratch who lives in Electra Manor. The other residents of Lunarvale dislike her, as she has a tendency to play music loud and late.
