Athena created the olive tree for the people of Athens.
The olive tree was a symbol of great success and peace for the city. In more literal ways of helping the people of Athens, Athena's gift of the olive tree was a good source of wood, oil and food.
The connection between Athens and Athena is, Athena is the protector god of Athens. The King of Athens, Cecrops, needs a protector god over Athens. Athena was chosen because Athena grew an olive tree, the olive tree was fundamental to the Athenian economy.
because to win Athens over she had provided the first olive tree providing wood, olive oil and food... :)
Athena and Poseidon had a competition to become the patron god of Athens. So, Poseidon created a saltwater spring, and Athena created an olive tree. The citizens and gods thought the olive tree was more useful, and so she was chosen the patron goddess of Athens. The place was kind-of named after her.

Athena,goddess of wisdome ,guidence,and battle stratagies. Her sacred animal is the owl. Athena was voted patron god of athens because she provided the athenions with an olive tree and that olive tree supplied athens with fresh olive oil.
Athena and Poseidon competed for patronage of Athens (it had not been named at the time). Poseidon gave to them a well, and Athena gave them an olive tree. They chose Athena for her gift of the olive tree, and named the city Athens.
