Joachim Olsson was one of the original founders of Metropolis back when the small town was known as New Oberstad.

Olsson feuded with Luthias Alexander over claims to land in New Oberstad. Alexander responded by hitting Olsson with a shovel and sending him over Oberstad Falls.[1] Olsson survived the fall and discovered gold at the bottom of the falls.[2] His discovery set off the gold rush that helped establish Metropolis as a major city and lead to the Olsens being one of the most influential families in the city.[3]
