The '''Pioneer Town''' is a town that can be created by the player in the [[Sony PlayStation]] version of {{DQ4}} and other remakes following.

It's started by [[Hank Hoffman Jr.]] after he leaves The {{Hero 4}} and {{Party 4}} to apprentice under [[Conrad Hilton]] and begins to want to develop a town of his own. It is built in the area formerly occupied by the [[Desert Bazaar]].

==[[Nintendo DS]] version==
After his apprenticeship with Conrad Hilton in [[Mintos]], [[Hank Hoffman Jr.]] asks The {{Hero 4}} to look around the world to invite people to help in making the barren waste into a town. To start this side quest go to the "town" that is where the [[Desert Bazaar]], which will be renamed Hoffman's Place after speaking to {{Hoffman}}, and talk to him.
