 The Town brand was briefly replaced with Lego World City in 2003 and 2004 before it was simply rebranded as Lego City in 2005.The Lego City theme traces its origins to Lego Town, a theme introduced with the first minifigures in 1978, although Lego sets with city buildings and vehicles were commonplace by the late 1960s.In 1975, a precursor to the minifigure was introduced, in the same scale but without moving parts.
