why did people settled in some specific places?




Hello, today I'm going to try to answer the question "Why did people settled in some specific places?". The first thing that I would say to answer this question would be that at th time they mostly lived with farming, they used it to feed their families and/or to sell it in markets so they needed a good and fertile land with a water source not to far away and also more importantly a good climate. But even people that didn't farm used natural resources to; build cities and houses, make weapons. One of the most important thing was for the city to be protected from enemies by being on a mountain or surrounded by water. Example, Romans might have settled in the place that is now called Serbia, because it has a pretty good climate, the land is fertile, there is a lot of natural resources and their are 2 huge rivers. And Incas and Mayas might have settled in the place that is now called Mexico because their are protected and hidden by the tries of the jungle and the jungle is fool of thousands of natural resources.People of the past used those criteria to know where to build their city. Quite hard to find a good place to live, don't you think so?
