Mickey appeared in an urban setting as early as 1931 in the short film "Traffic Troubles" where he works as a taxi driver. Mickey's city was unnamed until 1932, when the comic story "The Great Orphanage Robbery" identified it as Silo Center. Some Floyd Gottfredson stories simply called the city Hometown while other Gottfredson stories used the name Mouseville. But the first consistent name for Mickey's city came in 1950s Italy, where it was called Topolinia (from "Topolino" or 'little mouse,' Mickey's Italian name).
