In a recent work, Brown and Cuberes (2020) analyze an episode that offers a scenario close to the one I have just described: the opening, in 1889, countertop outlet store near me of a territory in what is now Oklahoma, of around 8,000 square kilometers practically uninhabited for people from the rest of the find a toyota near mecountry to move to live there. The preliminary results of this work show that the settlers who arrived in this territory in 1889 chose areas near an old railway and, to a certain extent, near rivers; however, in the following decades it seems that the influence of the initial agglomerations acquires a much greater weight in the explanation of where the immigrants chose to live. In any case, episodes like this are extremely difficult to find3.
Despite these difficulties, we have some evidence that cities are often built on sites with geographical advantages. For example, we know that in the Bronze Age, many of humanity's earliest cities were built near transportation routes (Barjamovic et al., 2019). From the process of colonization of America, it is deduced that areas near the ocean, with abundant precious minerals, such as gold and silver, or with a climate less conducive to tropical diseases, attracted a greater number of colonizers (Landes, 1988; Sokoloff and Engermann, 2000).
